Meet Pulitzer Prize NY Times journalist, Susanne Craig!

Meet the New York Times journalist who shed light on the finances of Donald J. Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.!


Event Highlight

After a flourishing career at the Globe and Mail and the Wall Street Journal, Susanne Craig joined the NYT in 2010. In 2019, Craig and her NYT colleagues, Barstow and Buettner, won the 2019 Pulitzer for their joint investigation into then-president Donald Trump’s finances. Her success in 2019 triggered high-profile criticism, but Craig’s courage and belief in journalists’ pursuit of the truth gave her the courage to continue unveiling political corruption.

In 2023, Susanne Craig was named the Order of Canada for her contributions to Canadian journalism!
