Warner elected to Hall of Fame

Stuart Warner has been elected to the Cleveland Press Club Hall of Fame.


In his more than 40-year newspaper career Stuart Warner has played a major role in three Pulitzer Prize-winning entries and has edited three other Pulitzer finalists plus stories that have won more than 50 other national awards. Warner was lead writer on the centerpiece of the Akron Beacon Journal's 1987 Pulitzer-winning coverage of the attempted takeover of Goodyear. As deputy managing editor in Akron, he supervised the 1994 Pulitzer Gold Medal winning project, "A Question of Color." As writing coach at The Plain Dealer, he edited Connie Schultz's columns that won the 2005 Pulitzer for commentary, and her series "Burden of Innocence," which was a finalist for the 2003 Pulitzer in feature writing. He also edited Regina Brett's columns, which were 2008 and 2009 Pulitzer commentary finalists. Warner has received The Press Club of Cleveland's Best in Ohio award twice for freelance writing and once for essay writing.
