}}Laura Sullivan (born about 1974) is a correspondent and investigative reporter for National Public Radio (NPR).[1] She covers crime, punishment and prisons for Morning Edition, All Things Considered, and other NPR programs. Sullivan's work specializes in shedding light on some of the country's most disadvantaged people. She is one of NPR's most decorated journalists, with three Peabody Awards two Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Awards, and more than a dozen other prestigious national awards.[2]

Early life and education

Sullivan graduated from Lick-Wilmerding High School in San Francisco, California, and the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University. In 1996, Sullivan and two fellow university seniors expanded a class assignment[3] that ultimately freed four men (Ford Heights Four) who had been wrongfully convicted of a 1978 murder in Chicago's South Side; two were death-row inmates.[4] The case was one of several that led to a moratorium on capital punishment in Illinois.[1][5] The project won a special citation from Investigative Reporters and Editors.[6]

Career

2000s

Before coming to NPR in 2004, Sullivan covered the United States Department of Justice, the FBI, and terrorism from the Baltimore Sun{{'}}s Washington, D.C. bureau.

In 2008, her series "36 Years of Solitary: Murder, Death and Justice on Angola"[7] earned Sullivan her first Peabody, an Investigative Reporters and Editors award, and a Robert F. Kennedy award for investigative reporting. Her 2007 news series investigating sexual assault of Native American women[8] won a duPont.[9] It also won the DART Award for Excellence in coverage of Trauma[10] for outstanding reporting and RTNDA Edward R Murrow Award for Investigative Reporting. The series also brought her a second Gracie Award for American Women in Radio and Television.[11] The first was for her "Life in Solitary Confinement"[12] for which she also won the 2007 Daniel Schorr Journalism Prize.[13]

2010s

In 2010, Sullivan's three part series Bonding For Profit: Behind the Bail Bond System[14] examined the deep and costly flaws of bail bonding in the United States. In addition to her second Peabody and duPont, the series was also honored by the Scripps Howard Foundation,[15] the Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government[16] and the American Bar Association.[17]

In 2011, Sullivan produced a series on the state of foster care for Native American children[18] focusing largely on alleged wrongdoing in the state of South Dakota and garnering her a third Peabody[19] and her second Robert F. Kennedy award for investigative reporting.

Also in 2011, Sullivan won her second commendation from Investigative Reporters and Editors for her two-part series[20] examining the origin of the Arizona SB 1070 immigration law.

On August 9, 2013, NPR's ombudsman released an extensive analysis of Sullivan's South Dakota series that concluded the series was "deeply flawed" and "should not have been aired as it was." [21] However, NPR stood by the series and called the ombudsman's report "unorthodox, the sourcing selective, fact-gathering uneven and the conclusions, subjective or without foundation." [22] Two subsequent reports, one by a coalition of nine Lakota tribes,[23] and another by the National Coalition for Child Protection Reform,[24] reviewed the ombudsman's report and found the NPR series was sound. In May 2015, a federal judge ruled in summary judgment in favor of South Dakota's tribes finding that the State of South Dakota and its Department of Social Services had "failed to protect Indian parents' fundamental rights." [25]

In May 2016, Sullivan collaborated with the PBS series Frontline to produce an hour long documentary examining the profit-driven nature of the insurance business after disasters. The film[26] and radio[27] pieces grew out of several investigations[28] into the American Red Cross delving into the charity's finances and its performance after the Haiti earthquake and Hurricane Sandy. The stories were honored with Sullivan's second Goldsmith Award[29] from the Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard University and her third commendation[30] from Investigative Reporters and Editors.

In 2017 and 2018 Sullivan again collaborated with Frontline to produce two more films, Poverty, Politics and Profit,[31] which examined the billions spent housing the poor, and Blackout in Puerto Rico,[32] which investigated the federal response, Wall Street and years of neglect on the island in the wake of Hurricane Maria.
