Former BJ Mad Hatter
legend Stuart Warner will be inducted into the Kentucky Journalism Hall of
Fame.
There was NO mention
of his BJ time in the announcement, only his Lexington Herald-Leader sports
editor days and as “a Pulitzer Prize-winning editor at the Plain Dealer.”
As Stu clarified for me, he edited 2005 Pulitzer
winner Connie Schultz’s columns and editor 2008 and 2009 Pulitzer finalist
Regina Brett’s column and Connie’s Pulitzer finalist series about a man wrong
convicted of rape.
From another source:
Winner: Lead writer,
The Goodyear War, 1987 Pulitzer Prize for general reporting. Winner: Managing supervisor, 1994 Pulitzer Gold Medal,
Akron Beacon Journal, A Question of Color/Coming Together (supervised 29
journalists, who produced a 16-part series on race relations in Akron, Ohio.)
From this BJ Alums
blog earlier a more-informative article:
Stuart came to the Beacon Journal after 10 years with
Knight-Ridder's Lexington newspaper. He was at the BJ from 1979 until 1999.
He left the BJ for the PD. By the time he took a PD buyout in
2008, he was writing coach and projects editor, similar to his role at the BJ.
Stuart, after four years with the Arizona Republic, became editor-in-chief of the weekly Phoenix New
Times in Arizona, which has gone online with some impressive investigative
reporting.
Stuart and wife Debbie Van Tassel roamed Ol’
Blue Walls together as editors before heading off to the PD and then warmer
pastures in Arizona.
