The Post and Courier
Doug Pardue is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who has spent nearly 50 years in a newspaper career, mostly as investigative reporter and editor. He was the lead reporter on a four-member team at The Post and Courier in Charleston, S.C., that won the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service, the Pulitzer’s top award. That five-part investigative series, “Till Death Do Us Part,” examined why South Carolina was one of the ten deadliest states for women. The story stunned the state’s lawmakers, prompting major improvements of state laws to better protect victims of domestic violence and punish perpetrators.
