My Biography
Robert Little won his first newspaper award in 1979, for delivering copies of the Baltimore Sun to the front porches up and down the street where he grew up. His folding and throwing skills have long since atrophied, but the taste for news that he acquired at 13 helped launch a career in journalism that has taken him around the world – and back to the Baltimore Sun.
Little has degrees in journalism from Towson State University and Columbia University, and worked for The Carroll County Times in Westminster, Md. and The Virginian-Pilot in Norfolk, Va., before joining his hometown newspaper in 1998. A former National Correspondent for The Sun he has covered many of the major news stories of the 21st Century -- the terrorist attacks in New York, the funeral of Pope John Paul II in Rome, the subway bombings in London, Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, the war in Baghdad, the earthquake in Port-au-Prince. In 2007 he won the George Polk Award for investigative reporting from Iraq.
Today Little is The Sun’s investigations and enterprise editor. He lives in Towson, Md. – not far from his old paper route – with his wife, Ann, and their five children.
