Alexa O'Brien is an American journalist. She provided an extensive archive of the only available pre-trial transcripts of the court-martial of WikiLeaks source Chelsea Manning.[1] In 2013, she was shortlisted for the Martha Gellhorn Prize for Journalism in the UK.[2] O'Brien's work has been published in The Cairo Review of Global Affairs,[3] The Guardian,[4] Salon,[5] The Daily Beast,[6] and featured on the BBC, PBS Frontline,[7] NPR's On The Media, Democracy Now!,[8] Public Radio International (PRI),[9] and Days of Revolt.[10] O'Brien obtained the first exclusive interview with Chelsea Manning's lead civilian defense counsel, David Coombs, after the soldier's court-martial.[11] In late 2015 and early 2016, O'Brien collaborated with military scholar, William M. Arkin, on a multi-month VICE News investigation into U.S. institutions of higher education with the greatest number of students employed by the Intelligence Community (IC), and which have the closest relationships with the national security state, as well as profit the most from the U.S. war footing.[12] A follow up by Arkin and O'Brien in early 2016 revealed that one in 50 members of the Intelligence Community with Top Secret clearances, who also possessed a doctoral degree, obtained it from an unaccredited school.[13]
