The win marks the newspaper’s 29th Pulitzer Prize in its 179-year history. The Tribune was last awarded the prize for local news in 2022 for “Failures before the Fires,” an investigation that exposed the city’s history of failed code enforcement. chicagotribune.com/2026/05/0…

Still have so much to learn about Chicago after a little more than a year here. One thing I can say I now know, though, is that when the Trib wins a Pulitzer, we head to the Billy Goat. 🍺🐐

So very proud of my colleagues. The paper was also a finalist in public service for this work.
The Chicago Tribune won the Pulitzer Prize on Monday for its coverage of Operation Midway Blitz, the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement mission in the Chicago area last fall. chicagotribune.com/2026/05/0…

A 69-hour workday? A Tribune analysis of a decade of legal bills in reverse-conviction cases shows the city paid some head-scratching invoices, including dozens of attorneys who billed for more than 24 hours in a single day. chicagotribune.com/2026/04/1… w/@joemahr

Court battles hit taxpayer wallets. Chicago’s legal strategy on reversed-conviction suits — private attorneys, drawn-out fights — adds millions to costs. Reporting from @joemahr @jmetr22b dream team chicagotribune.com/2026/03/2…

The costs of Chicago police misconduct have grown enormous as the city settles lawsuit after lawsuit using expensive private counsel to handle most of the work. chicagotribune.com/2026/03/2…

Over the past decade, Chicago has more than doubled how much it’s paying outside lawyers on reversed-conviction cases to more than $20 million a year
The city argues it’s protecting taxpayers.
Is it working?

49 years ago, Reverend Jesse Jackson made history on the steps of Sesame Street by reciting the poem, "I Am Somebody." Today we highlight these words as a reminder that we must continue to make history and fight for equality and justice for all. #BlackHistoryMonth #TBT
