An Epic Monday: Daily News Reporter Starts New Job, Wins Pulitzer

Sarah Ryley is now with The Trace, a non-profit reporting on U.S. gun violence

There have been plenty of cases where a journalist has won a Pulitzer Prize for work with an outlet that they are no longer professionally associated with. But rarely, if ever, does it all become official on the same spring Monday.

That was the case yesterday for Sarah Ryley, whose reporting for the New York Daily News in partnership with non-profit ProPublica won the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. And on that same day, she began the next chapter of her career with another non-profit news website, The Trace, which put out their announcement with some extra headline and lede gloss:

The Trace is pleased to announce that award-winning investigative reporter Sarah Ryley has joined the non-profit news site’s growing investigative team as a staff writer.
