Rick Tulsky

About The Author

Rick Tulsky began writing about abusive police and unjust court systems as a young reporter in Jackson Mississippi and that focus has defined his work ever since. Rick became a lawyer in Philadelphia and he continued exposing injustices on the staff of newspapers in Philadelphia, Los Angeles and San Jose. His work has won more than two dozen national awards, including a Pulitzer Prize, and he was a Pulitzer finalist two additional times. In 2011 Rick moved back to his hometown and joined the faculty of Northwestern University’s journalism school and co-founded a nonprofit newsroom, Injustice Watch in 2015. It was there that Rick first heard about Lamonte McIntyre, a story that took over his professional life. Rick lives in Evanston, Illinois, with his wife, Kim. They have two terrific children, Eric and Elizabeth, and one fabulous dog, Jasper.
