Philip Dine has covered the labor beat for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch for two decades. Twice nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for his labor reporting, in 2007 he won the National Press Club's Edwin Hood Award for Diplomatic Correspondence and first place for investigative reporting from the Society of Professional Journalists' Dateline Awards, for his coverage of Afghanistan's illicit narcotics trade.

A New York native, Dine did graduate work at MIT in political science and industrial relations, then spent two years researching the German and French labor movements before going into journalism in New England. With the Post-Dispatch, for 10 years he wrote perhaps the only weekly labor column at a metro daily. He also has reported frequently on military and national security affairs, including coverage from the Persian Gulf, Kosovo, Afghanistan and behind the Iron Curtain. His op-ed/commentary pieces have been published in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post, Baltimore Sun, Newsday and elsewhere.
Since coming to the nation's capital in 1996, he's been cited seven times for top Washington, investigative or foreign correspondence by the National Press Club or Society of Professional Journalists' Washington chapter. He also won an Overseas Press Club award for top foreign reporting by newspapers, magazines, radio or television.
Dine was a Knight fellow for military reporters at the University of Maryland, co-founded the journalists' group Military Reporters and Editors, and devised and taught a university course on the media, labor and social change at Webster University. He lives in Maryland with his wife and three children.
State of the Unions, Dine's first book, is published by McGraw-Hill. The book will be arriving in bookstores between now and the end of September. You may pre-order online via the sources on this page.
