Cheryl Biren

Managing editor, OpEdNews.com.

Cheryl Biren is a Philadelphia-based writer, researcher and photographer. Aware of the hazards of corporate news, she works to keep truth alive through people-powered media.

Cheryl's penchant for quickly digging up facts and piecing them together has earned her the nickname "Cherlock" by her OpEdNews colleagues. Veteran CIA analyst, Ray McGovern, has said Biren is "among the best analysts I know."

Special interests in U.S.-Iran relations, civil liberties, support for veterans and covering events largely ignored by corporate media.

In addition to OpEdNews, Cheryl's photographs have appeared in various publications including The Philadelphia Jewish Voice, Huffington Post, The Nuclear Resister, France 24, along with print magazines, The Humanist and The Progressive.

The film, Democracy and Human Rights, funded by the Finnish Ministry of Education in cooperation with Baltic University incorporates an image captured by Cheryl at a Guantanamo/Torture demonstration in Philadelphia.

Her articles have been widely published on the Internet and cited in the book, Sinking the Ship of State, The Presidency of George W. Bush by Walter M. Brasch.
