Sorry, there is nothing to display...
By Matthew D. LaPlante
As the Salt Lake Tribune's national security reporter, journalist Matthew D. LaPlante has covered military operations from Iraq, Kuwait, Turkey, Germany and throughout the United States, in addition to feature assignments in Israel, the West Bank, Spain, Ecuador and Cuba.
"Dispatches" was named the best blog in the 2008 Top of the Rockies journalism contest, which highlights reporting from more than 50 news organizations in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and New Mexico.
When not shooting from the hip on national security issues, LaPlante serves as executive director of The Newfourth Organization, which helps educational institutions implement comprehensive journalism training programs aimed at helping all Americans survive and thrive as journalism producers and consumers in a social media world. He also writes letters of love, advice and anxiety to his daughter on his blog, "Dear Spike."
"LaPlante has a definite point-of-view that is provocative. His views of veterans, the military and coverage of both probably create fans as well as foes, which means LaPlante is doing his job." - Top of the Rockies Awards Citation, 2008Search
