Ben Swann has spent 20 years working as a journalist in broadcast news, behind and in front of the camera. Swann began his journalism career in El Paso, Texas as a news photographer, quickly working his way up to prime time anchor. Along the way, Swann’s investigative reporting transformed the laws in New Mexico regarding child abuse resulting in death, leading Governor Bill Richardson to recognize him for his tireless work on behalf of children. Swann also became a two-time Emmy Award winner and two-time recipient of the Edward R. Murrow Award. It was while covering Mexico’s drug war, Ben Swann discovered the national media was not reporting the truth of what was actually happening in Mexico’s drug war or the problems associated with the failed “War on Drugs” in the United States.
