Edith Lederer, also known as Edie Lederer (born 1943) is an American war journalist. Lederer worked with Jean Heller at the Associated Press (AP) New York City headquarters at 50 Rockefeller Plaza. In 1968, while working at the AP’s San Francisco bureau, Lederer met Peter Buxtun and he spoke to her about his ethical concerns regarding the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. Lederer recognized the newsworthiness of the information and passed it on to a colleague, Associated Press investigative reporter Jean Heller, who broke the story, resulting in the ending of the study.
