Megan O’Matz is a reporter at ProPublica, where she covers issues out of Wisconsin.
O’Matz comes to ProPublica from the South Florida Sun Sentinel, where she worked for two decades. She was a finalist for the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting for stories on widespread fraud in federal disaster aid programs. She also shared in the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for public service for reporting on the Parkland school shooting. O’Matz has worked for the Chicago Tribune, the Morning Call in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and the Pittsburgh Press.
ProPublica has traced these mass-mailed newspapers to a "pink slime" network known for misinformation and its financial ties to right-wing super PACs and billionaires.
