Arthur Kent is an author, journalist and documentary maker who has traveled the world in pursuit of the facts. His new book is the Second Edition of his true crime, investigative political thriller, Murder In Room 117 The Secret Files: Inside Washington’s Cover-Up Of The Spike Dubs Assassination. The book exclusively publishes newly-declassified U.S. government documents exposing the decades-long official cover-up of the true circumstances in the 1979 assassination of Ambassador Dubs in Kabul, Afghanistan.

Over the past five decades, Arthur Kent has reported for news organizations including NBC and CBC News, BBC News, CNN, TBS, PBS, A&E’s The History Channel, The Observer newspaper and Canada’s Maclean’s magazine. Kent won Emmy Awards for his part in NBC’s coverage of the June 4, 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre and the December, 1989 Romanian Revolution. In the aftermath of the 1991 Gulf War, Kent was forced into a legal battle with NBC management over the intrusion of entertainment values into news. He won a record settlement from NBC, and the right to publish the case’s discovery evidence in his 1997 book, Risk and Redemption: Surviving the Network News Wars.

Kent’s documentary, Afghanistan: Captives of the Warlords was broadcast by PBS in June, 2001, three months prior to the September 11 attacks. The film received the Gold WorldMedal at the New York festivals and a Golden Eagle award from CINE.

On the 30th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre, Kent produced a documentary short subject “Black Night In June”, based on his own video footage of the massacre and restored in 4K HD. After premiering on Kent’s skyreporter website, “Black Night In June” recorded more than one million views on YouTube in the six days prior to the June 4, 2019 anniversary. Later that year Kent filmed Hong Kong’s pro-democracy demonstrations, featuring the episodes on skyreporter.
