Now an author and documentary filmmaker, he continues to explore the role of journalism in our American democracy. Nationally recognized for work investigating matters of public importance, his stories have probed and exposed human rights abuses in state and federal prisons, drug trafficking, organized crime and police and political corruption. His long history in journalism, which began as a teenage reporter on a small, gritty midwestern newspaper, covering the ‘night cops’ beat, has evolved into reporting that has carried him around the world. Luzadder’s work as a freelance journalist has appeared in the New York Times and New York Daily News, in national magazines, and in major papers throughout the country. His work has been honored nationally by the American Bar Association for exposing corruption in the federal courts, and by numerous state and regional awards for writing and reporting. In addition to a 1983 Pulitzer for general local reporting, he has been twice nominated for investigative work, including his inquiries into the police handling of the Columbine High School massacre. He was named a member of the Scripps Howard Journalism Hall of Fame in 1993. His book, The Manchurian Journalist, is being released June 18, 2024; a collection of his newspaper columns is also scheduled for publication this year. He is currently at work on a film that merges investigative journalism with documentary filmmaking in an investigation revisiting a 40-year-old cold case involving five unsolved homicides and a series of bombings in Speedway, Indiana.
