ProPublica announced Monday that Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Mark Schoofs will join ProPublica on Aug. 15 as a senior editor.
Prior to the Journal, Schoofs was a staff writer at The Village Voice, where he won the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting for his eight-part series on AIDS in Africa. He has also freelanced for several publications, including The New York Times Magazine and The Washington Post. Schoofs graduated magna cum laude from Yale University with a degree in Philosophy and holds two U.S. patents.
“Mark has had a remarkable range of experiences as a reporter. We are excited to add to our staff someone whose work has mixed cutting-edge techniques with old-fashioned rigor and shoe leather,” said Stephen Engelberg, ProPublica’s managing editor.
“I’m thrilled to be joining ProPublica. As tight budgets force many news organizations to constrict their investigative efforts, ProPublica’s mission becomes ever more critical. I’m excited to pitch in and work with a great group of journalists,” said Schoofs.
