Two Pulitzers in Two Years

April 18, 2011 by WendyB

Congrats to Jesse Eisinger and Jake Bernstein — part of MrB’s team at ProPublica — for winning the Pulitzer for National Reporting! The Pulitzer board recognized Jesse and Jake for their stories about “how some Wall Street bankers, seeking to enrich themselves at the expense of their clients and sometimes even their own firms, at first delayed but then worsened the financial crisis.”

This is ProPublica’s second Pulitzer in two years and the eighteenth Pulitzer won by a news organization led by MrB. Sixteen of those Pulitzers were won by the Wall Street Journal while MrB was that paper’s managing editor.

ProPublica is an independent, non-profit newsroom that produces investigative journalism in the public interest. To find out more about the organization, click here. Here are some other hot links:

  • Donate to ProPublica.
  • Read the prize-winning series.

If you’re not the type to read serious stories about Wall Street, ProPublica has you covered with these easy-to-digest options:

  • Listen to the musical version of the story.
  • Auto-tune the news with ProPublica.
  • Look! A comic strip.

And if you’re one of those people who insists upon buttonholing MrB at events and forcing him to explain for the umpteenth time why ProPublica is a good idea, don’t be surprised when I throw you the shank-eye. I used to just throw a side-eye, but I’m taking it to the next level now!

    Wonderful work, CONGRATS to Mr.B and his talented journalists! I love a ProPublica story on PBS, too.

    And off-topic, after our recent apartment search, I’ve decided a proper punishment for questionable Wall Street bankers would be one year’s time searching for a 2 bedroom NYC apartment for under $2,000/mo., using brokers. Wall Street bankers v. NYC apt. brokers, yes, this is my fantasy.

    Your flat tummy has made me realize how far I’ve fallen off the wagon. It’s time to start exercising 2 hours a day so I can be where I was soon!
