Daniel L. Golden (born 1957) is an American journalist, working as a senior editor and reporter for ProPublica.[1] He was previously senior editor at Conde Nast's now-defunct Portfolio magazine,[2] and a managing editor for Bloomberg News.[3][4]
Early life and education
[edit]Born in Toledo, Ohio,[5] Golden grew up in an academic family, as his parents Morris and Hilda Golden were both professors who would later teach at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.[6] Daniel Golden graduated from Harvard College in 1978 with a B.A.[6]
Journalism career
[edit]From 1978 to 1981, Golden was a reporter for the Springfield Daily News in Springfield, Massachusetts.[5] In 1981, Golden first joined The Boston Globe as a regional reporter, being promoted to general assignment and investigative reporter in 1982. From 1986 to 1993, Golden wrote for the Globe's Sunday "Focus" section and weekly magazine.[5] After a year as an investigative reporter, Golden was a special projects reporter for the Globe from 1994 until leaving in 1998.[5]
Golden joined The Wall Street Journal as a reporter in 1999. Beginning in 2000, Golden was the Boston deputy bureau chief for the Journal.[5]
As Deputy Bureau Chief at the Boston bureau of The Wall Street Journal he received the Pulitzer Prize for Beat Reporting in 2004 for a series of articles on admissions preferences in elite American universities, specifically relating to the enormous advantages enjoyed by more affluent white students,[7] and the use of development cases (admissions based on potential donations).[8] He earned the 2011 Gerald Loeb Award for Beat Reporting for his article "Education Inc.".[9] Golden is also a three time recipient of the George Polk Award.[10]
A series of articles that Golden edited about Corporate Tax Inversions won Bloomberg's first Pulitzer Prize in 2015.[11] Golden also co-edited a ProPublica series on Latin American asylum-seekers caught between the U.S. government and the MS-13 gang, which won the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for feature writing.
