Michael Sallah

Michael Sallah is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and deputy managing editor for investigations at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

At the Post-Gazette, he has overseen some of the newspaper's most ambitious projects, including an investigation that revealed international money laundering in the U.S. steel industry by powerful oligarchs and a major investigation into one of the deadliest medical device recalls in U.S. history, and the corporate manufacturer that failed for years to alert the public to the dangers of its breathing machines.

A former reporter at The Washington Post, Miami Herald, and USA TODAY, his work revealing public corruption, police abuses, and corporate financial wrongdoing has prompted grand jury investigations, legislative reforms, and the recovery of millions of taxpayer dollars.

In 2004, he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting for a series of stories in The (Toledo) Blade that exposed the longest war crimes case of the Vietnam War and subsequent cover-up by the Pentagon. At the Miami Herald, he supervised an investigation into public housing corruption that won the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting.
