Marina Walker Guevara

Executive Editor, Pulitzer Center

Marina Walker Guevara is the Pulitzer Center's executive editor. Before joining the Center, Walker Guevara was deputy director of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ). She managed two of the largest collaborations of reporters in journalism history: The Panama Papers and the Paradise Papers, which involved hundreds of journalists using technology to unravel stories of public interest from terabytes of leaked financial data.

Walker Guevara was instrumental in developing the model of large-scale media collaboration, persuading reporters who used to compete with one another instead to work together, share resources and amplify their reach and impact.

She has won or shared more than 50 national and international awards, including the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting.

In 2018-2019, she was a John S. Knight fellow at Stanford University where she focused on the use of artificial intelligence in big data journalistic investigations.
