Sharon Bernstein, a former business journalist with the Los Angeles Times, has been named the Donald W. Reynolds visiting professor in business journalism at the Walkter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State.
Bernstein, a board member of the Society of American Business Editors and Writers, was part of the team that won the Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Reporting for coverage of the 1997 North Hollywood Shootout.
On the business news desk, Bernstein was an assignment editor, overseeing real estate and regional economics coverage as well as the Sunday business (personal finance and real estate) section since 2008.
Bernstein began her career at the paper in 1989 as a television reporter for Calendar and moved to the Valley Edition in 1992, where she served as a reporter, assistant city editor and filled in as acting business editor for several months. Her stories led to new protections for women on Medi-Cal and for women during childbirth.
She moved to business to cover health care in 1996 and returned to metro in 2001 as a senior general assignment reporter, tackling such topics as local politics, transportation, emergency preparedness, urban planning and public health.
