By: E&P Staff Two-time Pulitzer Prize-winner Eric Nalder, who had been the Seattle Post-Intelligencer's chief investigative reporter, was named to the new role of "senior enterprise reporter" for Hearst Newspapers.
The appointment, effective immediately, was announced by Hearst Newspapers President Steven R. Swartz who said Nalder will report to Phil Bronstein, editor-at-large for both Hearst Newspapers and the San Francisco Chronicle.
"Through his own work and collaboration with our reporters and editors across the country, Eric will ensure that all of our properties maintain our commitment to high-quality investigative and enterprise journalism," Swartz said.
Nalder heads the Hearst Newspapers Investigative Team, which most recently reported on that Boy Scouts councils across the country who have logged or sold prime woodlands to turn quick profits, sometimes in protected forests, or on lands bequeathed with the understanding the councils would preserve the lands for outdoor recreation.
Nalder won the 2008 George Polk Award for Military Reporting for his investigation into privatization of military housing.
He won the 1990 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting for an investigative series on the regulation of oil tankers, and the 1997 Pulitzer for Investigative Reporting for a series on corruption and waste in the federal government's Native American housing program.
Nalder, 63, started his newspaper career as a reporter in Washington, eventually joining the P-I in 1975. After leaving the P-I for The Seattle Times in 1983, he joined the San Jose Mercury News in 2001 and returned to the P-I in 2004.
