Trevor Aaronson is an American journalist. He is a contributing writer at The Intercept[1] and author of The Terror Factory: Inside the FBI's Manufactured War on Terrorism. He was a 2020 ASU Future Security Fellow at New America[2] and a 2015 TED Fellow.[3]

Aaronson is the creator and host of the documentary podcasts American ISIS, which tells the story of Russell Dennison, an American who joined the Islamic State as a fighter in Syria;[4] and Chameleon: High Rollers, which investigates an FBI undercover operation in Las Vegas.[5]

Aaronson described how he had been waiting for the release of "Tareena: Return from ISIS", because Tareena Shakil, the subject of the documentary, had, briefly, been married to Shakil, in late 2014, and early 2015.[6]

Aaronson has won the Molly National Journalism Prize,[7] the Data Journalism Award[8] and the John Jay College/Harry Frank Guggenheim Excellence in Criminal Justice Reporting Award.[9]

Dennison wanted a Syrian wife, but the ISIS matchmaker preferred to arrange marriages between foreign men and foreign women. He suggested to Dennison a young British woman who’d come to Syria with her 1-year-old son."
