RIP: Star-Ledger Pulitzer Winner Mary Jo Patterson
She was part of the team that won the 2005 Breaking News Reporting prize.
Sadly, Mary Jo Patterson did not live to applaud this year’s Pulitzer winners. The 70-year-old journalist died Sunday after a long illness. She was part of the Star-Ledger team that earned the 2005 Pulitzer for Breaking News Reporting.
From Ted Sherman’s obituary:
A top reporter at the state’s largest newspaper for 30 years, Patterson found compelling stories among the rich and the poor, the powerful and the forgotten, and the young and the old.
“She was the heart and soul of the paper,” said David Tucker, a former managing editor.
