David Hasemyer, 鈥�79, was in New York City, knee-deep in final production of an extensive public information project for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, when his cell phone rang last April.

His editor at InsideClimate News, where he works part-time, wanted to talk. Pleading overload, Hasemyer asked to return the call, but Susan White was adamant.

鈥淣o, you won鈥檛 call back; you鈥檙e going to listen to me right now,鈥� she said. 鈥淚n 10 minutes, you鈥檙e going to win the Pulitzer Prize.鈥�

It鈥檚 a long way from the offices of the Daily Aztec to the stage near Columbia University鈥檚 Pulitzer Hall, where Hasemyer and two colleagues from InsideClimate News accepted the coveted prize for national reporting in May.

The trio was recognized for 鈥渞igorous reports on flawed regulation of the nation鈥檚 oil pipelines, focusing on potential ecological dangers posed by diluted bitumen (or 鈥渄ilbit鈥�), a controversial form of oil.鈥�

Only twice before had an online news organization won the Pulitzer for national reporting. This year, InsideClimate News bested both The Boston Globe and The Washington Post.

鈥淚t was emotional,鈥� said Hasemyer, recalling the awards ceremony. 鈥淵ou try to place the same value on [the Pulitzer] when it鈥檚 hanging on your wall as you did when you watched others accept it. You find yourself in that company and you think, wow I鈥檝e done some good journalism in my life, but this says it鈥檚 the best.鈥�

Hasemyer cut his investigative teeth at the Daily Aztec. Elected editor for two consecutive semesters鈥攁 rarity in those days鈥攈e ran stories that challenged the university鈥檚 administration. A series raising questions about the quality of student health services was later covered by the 色情视频 Times.

After graduation, Hasemyer joined the San Diego Evening Tribune. He stayed for 30 years, earning a reputation for hard-nosed investigative reporting, particularly after the paper merged with the San Diego Union.

His crowning achievement from that time was a series he co-wrote with Joe Cantlupe, which exposed police and prosecutorial misconduct. Their work was cited in an appellate court鈥檚 decision to reverse the wrongful convictions of four gang members.

White, who was also Hasemyer鈥檚 editor at the Union-Tribune, applauds not only his professionalism, but also his passion.

鈥淒avid is tenacious,鈥� she said. 鈥淲hen people say no, that doesn鈥檛 register with him. There is a kind of purity in his determination to write the truth.鈥�

In addition to reporting for InsideClimate News, Hasemyer currently serves as an on-call public information officer for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). He worked on the Hurricane Sandy response and recovery team in New York earlier this year.

鈥淚 am passionate about working for FEMA,鈥� Hasemyer said. 鈥淚ts mission is to help people, and that鈥檚 what I try to do through journalism. I try to make a difference.鈥�

Judging from the Pulitzer Prize now hanging on his wall, he鈥檚 succeeding.
