Elizabeth Becker (journalist)

Her papers on Cambodia and the Khmer Rouge are held at The University of Washington Southeast Asia Library as the Elizabeth Becker collection.

She was the Senior Foreign Editor of National Public Radio where she received two DuPont Columbia awards as executive producer for reporting South Africa's first democratic elections and the Rwandan genocide.

She is also the author of Overbooked: The Exploding Business of Travel and Tourism and America's Vietnam War: A Narrative History for young adults.

Becker was summoned to testify as an expert witness before the Khmer Rouge genocide tribunal known officially as the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia.

In December 1978, Becker was a member, with Malcolm Caldwell and Richard Dudman, of the only group of Western journalists and writers to visit Cambodia since the Khmer Rouge had taken power in April 1975.
