Winning a Pulitzer With a Family Member: A Personal Experience

AL.com’s team of four journalists was recently awarded the 2023 Pulitzer Prize in Local Reporting for their investigation of a local police force in Alabama. The team included a father-son duo, John and Ramsey Archibald. In a piece for The Atlantic, the Archibalds detail their experience working together and how their relationship has evolved in the workplace. When Ramsey was hired at Alabama Media Group, his father had mixed emotions. On one hand, he was proud that his son wanted to pursue journalism, but on the other hand, he worried about how trolls would treat him and if people would assume he got the job because of his last name. Ultimately, John knew his son’s work ethic and abilities would speak for themselves. Over the years, the two have worked together on several projects, including the Pulitzer-winning investigation. Despite their initial fears, they have formed a natural working relationship and are proud to have shared such a significant professional achievement. They both express admiration for each other, and Ramsey realizes that his dad has been teaching him important life lessons, like compassion and work ethic, since before he even knew who John Archibald was.
