- News
Stephen Kurkjian is a red-blooded and Red Sox-loving native of Dorchester, blessed with the gift of gab and a hearty appetite for a good story. Those last two things he made a career out of at a little paper called The Boston Globe, where he worked for nearly 50 years as a reporter and won 3 Pulitzers. But Boston is, if anything, a tribal city, and Kurkjian has always felt a certain privilege at being a member of one particular tribe: the Armenian Diaspora. In our latest podcast, former editor Karine Vann sits down with him to talk about growing up Armenian in Boston, his career at the Globe, and the role of journalism in shaping our communities and world views.
