About Jacob W.
I’m a driven storyteller with a passion for politics and policy and hundreds of bylines under my belt. I’ve had the opportunity to cover a wide range of topics for Bloomberg News, Forbes Magazine, United Press International, The Dispatch and Military Times. My work has been cited in the Congressional record, lawsuits against multibillion dollar organizations and news outlets including POLITICO, ABC News and The Chicago Tribune.During my tenure as editor in chief of The Daily Northwestern, the independent student newspaper won the Pinnacle Award for Daily Newspaper of the Year and the Pacemaker Award — the “Pulitzer Prize of student journalism” — for Online Newspaper, as well as more than 35 awards from the Illinois College Press Association, the Associated College Press Association and the College Media Association. I’ve also won first place prizes from the country’s premiere student media organizations for my multimedia work, breaking news and investigative reporting.
