Susanne Craig

New York Times reporter Susanne Craig, who won a Pulitzer Prize for her reporting on Donald Trump’s finances, has received the Order of Canada, one of rhe nation’s highest honors.

Brian MacLeod of The Windsor Star reports, “‘I can’t believe it,’ she said of her Order of Canada appointment. ‘I’m still kind of shocked about it.’

“When the announcement came, Craig had been working on a story looking into the finances of Robert F. Kennedy, an independent candidate for president of the United States.

“‘I got an e-mail from the Governor General’s office,’ Craig said. ‘I was actually on deadline. I was on a conference call at work with two editors going through everything.

“‘I hung up the phone and called the Governor General’s office. The person there told me that I was being invited into the Order.’”
