Ken Armstrong is a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter and Edgar Award-winning author whose work has appeared in such publications as the Washington Post, The New Yorker and The Paris Review. He currently works at ProPublica, where he is a senior reporter. In 2018 he co-wrote “A False Report,” a book with T. Christian Miller that expanded on “An Unbelievable Story of Rape,” their story that won the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for explanatory reporting. That story also became an eight-part Netflix series, “Unbelievable,” released in 2019, and an episode of This American Life called “Anatomy of Doubt,” which Armstrong helped report and narrate. At the Seattle Times Armstrong won the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting with Michael Berens for their three-part series, "Methadone and the Politics of Pain." He also shared in two staff Pulitzers for breaking news, for coverage of a landslide that killed 43 people and for stories on the shooting deaths of four police officers. Earlier, at the Chicago Tribune, Armstrong co-wrote an investigation of the death penalty that helped prompt the state's governor to suspend executions and eventually empty death row. He has been a Nieman Fellow at Harvard and the McGraw Professor of Writing at Princeton. In 2009 he won the John Chancellor Award from Columbia University for lifetime achievement. Armstrong’s first book, written with Nick Perry, was "Scoreboard, Baby: A Story of College Football, Crime, and Complicity." It won the 2011 Edgar Allan Poe award for nonfiction.
