JAMES O. LONG

Nonfiction, history, long-form journalism

James O. Long is a Tennessee-born journalist and writer recommended many times for the Pulitzer Prize. Best-known for his investigative reporting, he retired in 2003 after 41 years writing for Oregon Journal and The Oregonian. His byline appeared on stories that broke the Tonya Harding Olympics-tampering scandal, delved into the origins and criminal activities of the Rajneeshee cult that took over a community in Central Oregon, and exposed an elaborate fraud that cost labor union pension funds hundreds of millions of dollars. His work also has appeared in Newsweek and the Massachusetts Review. With Tom Gaddis (Birdman of Alcatraz) he wrote a book, Killer: A Journal of Murder that won high critical praise and was made into a movie starring James Woods.
