I oversee about two dozen traditional and data journalists who report, edit and build news applications. Many are covering the second Trump administration.
Our recent work includes an investigation into preventable maternal deaths in states with abortion bans and an examination of America’s broken mental health care system.
I also help run ProPublica’s investigative editor training program.
Stories I’ve edited at ProPublica have won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service as well as multiple National Magazine Awards and George Polk Awards. A series I co-edited won the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing.
I previously worked at the Tampa Bay Times, ultimately as the newspaper’s enterprise editor. As a reporter, my investigation into abuse at unlicensed religious children’s homes won the Selden Ring Award for Investigative Reporting and the Livingston Award for Young Journalists and was named a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting.
I also teach investigative journalism at Columbia Journalism School and the Poynter Institute.
