'''Anne Longworth Garrels''' (July 2, 1951 – September 7, 2022) was an American broadcast journalist who worked as a foreign correspondent for [[National Public Radio]], as well as for [[ABC News (United States)|ABC]] and [[NBC]], and other media.<ref name="fearless_2022_09_07_nytimes_com">{{cite news|url = https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/07/business/media/anne-garrels-dead.html|title = Anne Garrels, Fearless NPR Correspondent, Dies at 71|date = September 7, 2022|accessdate = September 7, 2022|last = Seelye|first = Katharine Q.|newspaper = The New York Times|url-access = limited}}</ref><ref name="anne_garrels_2017_09_lapressclub_org">Engle, Jane: [https://lapressclub.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/2010-ANNE-GARRELS.pdf "From Beijing to Baghdad, Garrels strayed far to the drumbeat of war,"] L.A.

In the mid-1970s, when she worked for ABC (including as producer), Garrels was one of the few women national broadcast journalists in the United States—eventually serving as ABC's [[Moscow]] Bureau Chief in the Soviet Union, until expelled for her detailed, unflattering reporting on the country and its issues. She became a war correspondent for ABC, covering Central American conflicts. She later became NBC's reporter at the U.S. State Department.

In 1988, Garrels began her 22-year career as a foreign correspondent for [[National Public Radio]] (NPR), closely covering conflicts and other major events throughout the world, earning numerous media awards, most famously for covering the 2003 Iraq War and its aftermath—at one point the only American broadcast journalist in Iraq's war-torn capital.

Garrels was active in journalism-related organizations, and global affairs causes, and wrote two noted books—one about the Soviet Union, and one about the Iraq war and its aftermath, both recounting her own experiences, as well as providing detailed historical coverage of those places in that time.

==Background and education==
Anne Longworth Garrels was born in [[Springfield, Massachusetts]], on July 2, 1951, the daughter of Valerie (Smith) and John C. Garrels Jr.<ref name="fearless_2022_09_07_nytimes_com" /> She spent part of her childhood in London, where her father worked as an executive for [[Monsanto]].<ref name="fearless_2022_09_07_nytimes_com" /> She was educated at [[St Catherine's School, Bramley]].<ref name="fearless_2022_09_07_nytimes_com"/>

===Early career===
In 1975, Garrels worked for the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] television network in several positions for ten years, including as producer{{Emdash}}one of the few women broadcast journalists at the time.<ref name="fearless_2022_09_07_nytimes_com" /><ref name=npr/><ref name="remembering_2022_09_08_npr_org">[https://www.npr.org/2022/09/08/1121690520/remembering-longtime-npr-foreign-correspondent-anne-garrels-who-died-at-71 "Remembering longtime NPR foreign correspondent Anne Garrels who died at 71,"] September 8, 2022, ''Morning Edition'', [[National Public Radio]] (NPR)</ref><ref name="anne_garrels_directors_cpj_org">[https://cpj.org/about/board-of-directors/#anne-garrels "Anne Garrels"] from "Board of Directors," at [[Committee to Protect Journalists]] (CPJ), retrieved September 9, 2022</ref>

She served ABC in the [[Soviet Union]] as Moscow bureau chief and correspondent until she was expelled in 1982. Able to speak Russian, and "in love" with the country, she was noted for more in-depth reporting from that country than most other U.S. journalists. She interviewed prominent Soviet dissidents [[Andrei Sakharov]], [[Roy Medvedev]], and [[Sergei Kovalyov]]. Her reporting exposed numerous hardships of Soviet citizens, displeasing the Soviet government, resulting in her 1982 expulsion. She did not return until 1988, just before the collapse of the Soviet Union.<ref name="fearless_2022_09_07_nytimes_com" /><ref name="anne_garrels_2017_09_lapressclub_org" /><ref name=npr/><ref name="remembering_2022_09_08_npr_org" /><ref name="anne_garrels_directors_cpj_org" />
