Remembering Alumnus Daniel Pearl of the Wall Street Journal
Daniel Pearl, Stanford graduate and Wall Street Journal reporter, was kidnapped on January 23, 2002, in Karachi, Pakistan at the height of America’s “war on terrorism” in Afghanistan. Some time later, he was murdered by his captors. He was 38 when he died.
Pearl had graduated from Stanford with honors in 1985, having majored in the Department of Communication. In his honor, the Daniel Pearl Memorial Journalism Internship is now awarded annually to an outstanding Stanford student journalist to work in a foreign bureau of The Wall Street Journal.
