About T.R. Reid
T. R. Reid (born Thomas Roy Reid III in 1944)[1] is an American reporter, documentary film correspondent, and author. He has also been a frequent guest on National Public Radio (NPR)'s Morning Edition. Reid currently lives in Denver, Colorado.
Reid, a Classics major at Princeton University, served as a naval officer, taught, and held various positions before working for The Washington Post.[2] At the Post, he covered Congress and four Presidential election campaigns, and was chief of the Post's London, Tokyo[3] and Denver-based Rocky Mountain bureau.[4] He has also taught at Princeton and the University of Michigan. His experiences in Japan led him to write Confucius Lives Next Door: What Living in the East Teaches Us About Living in the West, which argued that Confucian values of family devotion, education, and long-term relations, which still permeate East Asian societies, contributed to their social stability. A 2007 Kaiser Family Foundation media fellow in health, he is a member of the board of the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless and the University of Colorado Medical School.
