Kevin Sack Biography

Kevin Sack is a veteran journalist who has written broadly about national affairs for more than four decades and has shared in three Pulitzer Prizes. Sack spent 30 years on the staff of The New York Times, where he was a senior writer, and worked previously for the Los Angeles Times and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. His work also has been featured in The New York Times Magazine.

Sack is the author of "Mother Emanuel: Two Centuries of Race, Resistance, and Forgiveness in One Charleston Church." It explores the 200-year history of Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, SC, site of the 2015 massacre of nine parishioners by a young white supremacist. The project was supported by a New America Emerson Collective Fellowship and grants from the Ford Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

At The New York Times, Sack was known for producing long-form narrative and investigative projects on topics as varied as kidney transplantation, police militarization, refugee assimilation, and climate change. He also served as bureau chief in Atlanta and Albany, covered health care for the national desk, and reported extensively on race and domestic and presidential politics.

Sack was among those honored with the 2015 Pulitzer for international reporting for The Times’ coverage of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, having co-authored a special report about the failures of global health groups to contain the epidemic. While at the Los Angeles Times, he and colleague Alan C. Miller won the 2003 Pulitzer for national reporting for an investigative series about the Marine Corps’ troubled Harrier attack jet, which they discovered had crashed 143 times in training, killing 45 pilots. Two years earlier, Sack shared the Pulitzer for national reporting and a George Polk award with a team of New York Times colleagues for the series “How Race is Lived in America,” which was later published in book form. He wrote the lead article, about the life of an integrated Pentecostal church in the Atlanta suburbs.

A native of Jacksonville, FL, and 1981 honors graduate of Duke University, Sack lives in Charleston, SC, with his wife, Dina Sack. They have three children.
