Keeping tabs on authors in LINKcat: Donald L. Barlett

 







New York Times, 10/9/2024
Over four decades, Mr. Barlett and Mr. Steele’s investigative prowess, rooted in deep, systematic research and complex analysis of issues and institutions that profoundly affected Americans, resulted in two Pulitzer Prizes for national reporting (they were finalists for the award six times), six George Polk Awards and various other honors. 
They delved into the genesis of the oil crisis in the early 1970s, inequities in the operations of the Internal Revenue Service and dysfunction in the troubled U.S. health care system. Their exposés, which could take months or years to produce, were made possible by the full support of The Inquirer, which gave them the time and resources they needed. 
Mr. Barlett and Mr. Steele’s multipart series on the middle class, published in 1991, attributed its shrinking to a widening gulf in income between the top and bottom wage earners and to changes in federal tax law that favored the wealthy. It won several awards and was expanded into a book, “America: What Went Wrong?” (1992), which sat atop The New York Times’s best-seller list for weeks.
