Nancy Youssef, McClatchy's chief Pentagon correspondent, spent the past four years covering the Iraq war, most recently as Baghdad bureau chief.

While at the Free Press, she traveled throughout Jordan and Iraq for Knight Ridder, covering the Iraq war from the time leading up to it through the post-war period. She began her journalism career at the Baltimore Sun.
She has won several awards for her work including from Maryland-D.C. Delaware Press Association and the Detroit chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. A Washington, D.C.-area native, she earned a bachelor's degree in Economics from University of Virginia and began her post-graduate studies at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies. Her parents are from Egypt, and she has been visiting the region all of her life. She speaks Arabic.
