Susan Chira is leaving her post as editor-in chief of The Marshall Project, the nonprofit newsroom that focuses on criminal justice, early next year. 

The newsroom won a Pulitizer Prize and numerous other awards during her tenure, which started in 2019. It has also doubled in size. 

“Susan Chira has been a phenomenal editor-in-chief and a wonderful partner,” says Carroll Bogert, president of The Marshall Project. “She took an impressive young nonprofit start-up, and made it a substantial and well-respected player on the media scene.”

Prior to joining The Marshall Project, Chira served as a reporter and editor at The New York Times for four decades.
