She left the Chicago Tribune in 2008, after 30 years at the paper, the last seven as its top editor. In 1988 she was one of three reporters awarded a Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting on corruption and conflicts of interest in the Chicago City Council. The following year, she was named a Nieman fellow.
