Sarah Conway
Senior Reporter, Special Projects Manager, City Bureau
Sarah Conway is a senior reporter and special projects manager at City Bureau, a nonprofit journalism lab in Chicago that is reimagining local media. There, she reports on how government failures and public health crises often amplify the pre-existing issues of labor exploitation, police misconduct, the state's care of minors, and gender-based violence.
In 2024, Conway, along with the Invisible Institute's Trina Reynolds-Tyler, won the Pulitzer Prize in Local Reporting for Missing in Chicago, a newsroom partnership investigative project that looked into how Chicago police handle missing person cases, revealing the disproportionate impact on Black women and girls, how police have mistreated family members or delayed cases, and how poor police data is making the problem harder to solve.
