Sarah Ryley

Sarah Ryley is an American journalist working as an investigative reporter at The Trace, a non-profit news outlet that covers gun violence in America.[1] Previously, she was an editor and investigative journalist at the New York Daily News. The Daily News and ProPublica were joint recipients of the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for Ryley's extensive reporting on the New York Police Department's broken windows policing tactics. Her investigation documented "widespread abuse of eviction rules by the police to oust hundreds of people, most of them poor minorities".[2]

Early life and education

Ryley was born in Toledo, Ohio, and studied journalism at Wayne State University in Detroit.[3] She served as editor-in-chief of the student newspaper The South End and held internships at The Oakland Press, Brooklyn Eagle and The Detroit News.

Career

Ryley moved to New York City in 2006 and started her career in journalism covering real estate and development at the Brooklyn Eagle.[4] She later became an investigative producer for News Corp's now-defunct national iPad publication The Daily.

She joined the New York Daily News in 2012 as assistant city editor managing courts coverage, and later became the data projects editor and an investigative reporter. Her work exposing racial disparities in the New York Police Department's practice of issuing summonses for low-level offenses resulted in the passage of the Criminal Justice Reform Act.[5] Her investigation into the police department's use of the nuisance abatement law to push people from their businesses and homes, co-published with ProPublica, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service in 2017 and resulted in the passage of the Nuisance Abatement Fairness Act, which made sweeping reforms to the decades-old law to add protections for the accused.[6][2]

She started work at The Trace in April 2017. She has also been an adjunct professor at The New School.[7]
