Pulitzer Prize winner and two-time Pulitzer Prize juror George Haj will join ALM on April 21 in the new role of regional editor-in-chief for Florida, Georgia and Texas.
Haj comes to ALM from the Houston Chronicle, where he is senior editor of local news. Since joining the Chronicle in 2003 as assistant managing editor for business, Haj directed coverage of the 2005 BP Texas City refinery accident that killed 15 workers and the Enron trials. Under his leadership, the Chronicle was a Pulitzer finalist for breaking news for using online newsroom expertise to “become a lifeline to the city” after Hurricane Ike, providing minute-by-minute updates on the storm, its flood surge and aftermath.
