Charles Ornstein and Tracy Weber have taken their award-winning partnership to ProPublica as senior reporters. The duo helped deliver a Pulitzer Prize in public service journalism to the Los Angeles Times in 2005 for coverage of poor management and dangerous care at King/Drew hospital.
Now, they’ve written about gaps in the oversight of nurses with criminal records in California—a collaboration between ProPublica and the LA Times. Says Ornstein about moving into the nonprofit journalism world: “It’s not as different as you may think. I’m working with extremely talented colleagues, and everyone here is committed to accountability journalism. Hopefully this is a way forward for our industry.”
