What I Cover
I am interested in issues related to the Food and Drug Administration and spent 2023 investigating the massive recall of breathing machines by Philips Respironics. I have also written extensively about affordable housing programs. I’ve helped lead international projects and was one of the lead reporters at The Washington Post on the award-winning “Pandora Papers” investigation, a 2021 report about the secret movement of wealth around the world. In 2022, while at ProPublica, I co-authored “Shadow Diplomats,” an investigation about troubled volunteer diplomats that has spurred reforms in nine countries.
My Background
I am a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter and nonfiction author who spent more than a decade at the Post. Over 30 years, my stories have changed laws, prompted congressional and FBI investigations, and helped secure more funding for affordable housing, mental health care and public schools. I’ve won dozens of journalism awards, including the Pulitzer Prize for local reporting about corrupt affordable housing developers in Miami. I am the author of “Citizen 865: The Hunt for Hitler’s Hidden Soldiers in America” and “Love Wins: The Lovers and Lawyers Who Fought the Landmark Case for Marriage Equality,” named one of the most notable books of the year by the Post. I am also a professor at the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University.
