Investigative reporter Andrew Schneider, a two-time Pulitzer winner, covers national and international public health issues for Sphere.com.
He has spent his career uncovering secrets that corporations and the government don't want you to know - often because they could be or are hurting you. He broke the story of the asbestos poisoning of Libby, Montana, now infamous as the biggest environmental disaster in the United States. His reporting led to the criminal indictment of W.R. Grace and some of its top executives - leading to the largest environmental crime case in U.S. history.
Schneider's investigative work has been recognized with dozens of journalism awards, including two Pulitzer Prizes, the profession's most prestigious honor. But even more important, his work at news organizations from coast to coast has earned the trust of government and private sector experts across America, giving him access to stories and documents that make him one of the nation's leading public health reporters.
