R. Bruce Dold, a Pulitzer Prize winning editorial writer, has been editorial page editor of the Chicago Tribune since 2000.
Early life and education
Dold (full name Robert Bruce Dold) was born March 9, 1955, in Newark, NJ, to Robert Bruce Dold and Margaret (Noll).[1] He grew up in Glen Ridge, NJ, and from 1973 to 1978 he attended Northwestern University in Evanston, IL, where he received a B.S. and M.S. in Journalism.[2]

The Tribune hired him as a regular reporter in 1983, and he became a political writer before joining the editorial board in 1990. In 1995, he became deputy editorial page editor and columnist at the Tribune.[1] In 1993, while a member of the editorial board, he wrote a 10-part series, "Killing Our Children," which won the Pulitzer for editorial writing.

In 2000, Dold was named editorial page editor.[2] The Tribune subsequently earned a dozen national awards for editorials. It received the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for editorial writing and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 2009, 2010 and 2011.[4]
