Joseph Trevithick

Joseph started at TWZ in 2017 as part of what was originally a two-person team alongside Editor-in-Chief Tyler Rogoway. His title has changed several times as the outlet has grown further and transformed into what it is today.

Previously, he was an Associate Editor at War Is Boring. During that time, he cooperated with Airwars to share official U.S. data he obtained on reported civilian casualties in Iraq and Syria during the U.S.-led fight against ISIS. In addition to his own reporting, that information fueled investigative reports from four other outlets on three continents.

His byline has also appeared in several other publications, including Small Arms Review, Small Arms Defense Journal, Reuters, We Are the Mighty, and Task & Purpose.

Joseph’s reporting for TWZ has been cited by a variety of national and international news outlets, as well as defense trade press and other specialist publications. It has also been referenced in U.S. and foreign government briefings and reports.

Before entering the world of journalism, Joseph also worked for GlobalSecurity.org for five years as a Research Associate. While there, he was regularly asked for comment as an expert on various defense and security topics. This included on-camera television interviews on CNN, Fox News, and the BBC.

Over the years, Joseph has cultivated an extensive set of open-source research skills and is adept at finding often obscured details, including in official budget documents and government sources. Since High School, he has also been a heavy user of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), which has been a key feature in his work.
