Carmen Gentile is a journalist, author and public speaker who is the founder of Postindustrial Media. He covered the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and various other conflicts for outlets like USA TODAY, CBS News, Esquire and others.
He founded Postindustrial, a media outlet covering the Rust Belt, Appalachia and post-industrial communities around the world, in 2018.
Carmen is the author of the memoir Blindsided by the Taliban, a dark-humored retelling of his unusual injury in Afghanistan while embedded with American troops near the Pakistani border. In September 2010, Gentile was shot in the side of the head with a rocket-propelled grenade that did not detonate, although it blinded him in his right eye and crushed part of his skull
Born in New Kensington, Pa., he graduated from Villanova University with a degree in philosophy and Islamic studies.
Gentile is the recipient of the Galloway Award, named for UPI combat correspondent and McClatchy Newspapers' columnist Joseph Galloway, for a story in Salon that is excerpted from Blindsided by the Taliban.
