Bill Conroy

Investigative journalist and author on power and corruption

Bill Conroy is a journalist shaped by long roads, border towns, and questions most narratives prefer unanswered. Armed with a master’s degree in Mass Communications and Journalism from Marquette University, he has spent more than forty years moving between newsrooms and front lines, serving as a reporter, editor in chief, and independent correspondent across the United States and Mexico.

His work follows the money, the silences, and the spaces where power hides behind policy. Along the way, his reporting has become part of the historical record, cited in more than thirty five books examining corruption, crime, and national security.

Conroy is the author of The Great Pretense, Dispatches from the House of Death, and Borderline Security, books that peel back the machinery of the drug war and expose the cost of institutional deception. His journalism is not written for comfort, but for clarity, accountability, and the long memory truth demands.
