She joined AL.com in 2016 as a public safety beat reporter.\n\nIn 2023, she earned the Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting for the investigative series that exposed predatory policing in the town of Brookside, reporting that freed people from jail, prompted Alabama legislators to pass new laws and led to the traffic court judge being banned from the bench. \n\nIn 2021 she was part of the AL.com team that won the Pulitzer Prize for national reporting and the Katharine Graham Award for Courage and Accountability, among other honors. The team of reporters and editors across four newsrooms spent a year investigating K-9 units and the injuries police dogs inflict on Americans. Remkus also was part of a team nominated for a national Emmy award in 2021 for contributions to the PBS NewsHour series “Searching for Justice.” Her work has been recognized by the George Polk Awards, the Sidney Hillman Foundation, the National Headliner Awards, Investigative Reporters and Editors, the Online News Association, the Society of Professional Journalists and the Alabama Press Association.\n\nRemkus appeared in State of Alabama vs. Brittany Smith, a 2022 Netflix documentary that tells \"the harrowing story of a woman trying to use Alabama's stand-your-ground law as a defense after killing a man she says brutally attacked her.\"\n\nA native of northwest Alabama, Remkus is a 2015 graduate of the University of North Alabama.","facebook":"https://www.facebook.com/ashley.remkus","bio":"Ashley Remkus is a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and the deputy investigative editor for AL.com.

He joined The Birmingham News as a staff writer in 1986 and his stories have been published at AL.com since it was founded in 1997. A 1985 graduate of the University of Missouri School of Journalism, his awards include a Hearst College Journalism Award, APA Best News Feature, APME Deadline Reporting and APME Sports Sweepstakes Award. At Mizzou, he was a sports editor for Campus Digest covering University of Missouri football and basketball. His syndicated sports column Mizzou Report appeared in more than a dozen newspapers. He joined The Anniston Star in 1985-86, winning 2nd place in the national Cassels Award for religion writing. He covered the visit of Pope John Paul II to New Orleans in 1987, and has done one-on-one, sit-down interviews with newsmakers including Coretta Scott King, Jimmy Carter and Dolly Parton. In the 1970s, Greg and his family were environmental activists who successfully fought the building of a dam on the Meramec River that had been authorized by Congress. Greg worked three summers as a cave tour guide at Onondaga Cave, which would have been flooded by the dam. Greg has written several plays based on his childhood in the Ozarks, including \"Cicada Summer,\" which was produced by Rome High School at the Georgia Thespian Festival in 1992.
