Ted Gup is a writer noted for being the first to reveal publicly, in 1992, the existence of a large underground bunker at West Virginia’s famed Greenbrier Resort to house the Congress of the United States in case of a nuclear attack on Washington, DC; a revelation still considered controversial almost two decades after its publication. Gup, who was a “Shirley Wormser Professor of Journalism” at Case Western Reserve University before heading the Journalism School at Emerson College in Boston, Massachusetts, was a Guggenheim Fellowship recipient in 2003. He was also a 1980 recipient of the George Polk award in journalism offered by Long Island University. Prior to his work in academia, he was a reporter for The Washington Post and Time Magazine.
