He worked as an Associated Press correspondent in the Middle East for 15 years, concluding in 2014.[1] He has worked as a radio reporter for National Public Radio (NPR, U.S.), NBC, Mutual Broadcasting System, and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.[1] He won the Overseas Press Club's Lowell Thomas Award for “Best radio interpretation of foreign affairs” in 1994.[1]
Lavie has accused the Associated Press and other news outlets of reporting a biased view of the Israeli Arab conflict.[2][3][4][5]
Following his first book written during the Arab Spring in which Lavie was posted by the Associated Press in Cairo, he wrote a second book describing why Israel's focus on its existential threats is wrong and that the country should focus on its domestic challenges.[citation needed]
