Josh Rushing

Joshua Rushing became a celebrity by accident. As a veteran Marine captain, he was a spokesperson at Central Command Qatar, during Operation Iraqi Freedom. When his earnest discussions about war coverage with Al Jazeera reporters were featured in the hit documentary, Control Room, he found himself elevated to stardom and immersed in a whirlwind of controversy.

When Rushing made the transformative choice to resign from his distinguished military career, he became a correspondent and military analyst for the fledgling network, Al Jazeera International, the world’s revolutionary first international English-language news and current affairs channel headquartered in the Middle East. Now, as the face of Al Jazeera in the US, Rushing delivers the news from a unique prism of experience, providing accurate and impartial reporting with an international perspective.

Determined to serve as a personal conduit for bridging America and the world, Rushing offers intelligent and informed analysis about the role the US plays in the global arena and in the Arab world. Never one to back down from his convictions, he serves as a non-partisan broker for the truth. His voice is fresh, honest, and destined to expand the global dialogue surrounding media, government, international conflict, and the US.
