Duško Doder was an American journalist. Born in Sarajevo and raised in Yugoslavia, he moved to the U.S. in 1959 after meeting his future mentor in Vienna and became a journalist. He worked for The Washington Post between 1970 and 1985, where he was the head of its Moscow bureau from 1981 until 1985, before spending three years at U.S. News & World Report as their Beijing correspondent. His career was permanently damaged in 1992 after Time published baseless allegations about him, for which they apologized four years later.
