Ted Jackson is a Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist who has spent nearly 34 years with the New Orleans’s The Times-Picayune. He was part of a four-member team that produced Oceans of Trouble, a comprehensive look at the impending collapse of the world’s fisheries. The writing and photography broke new ground in the understanding of the environmental crisis unfolding in south Louisiana. The series was awarded the 1997 Pulitzer Prize for public service—the first Pulitzer in the paper’s 160-year history. Through the years, he has covered the physical destruction and emotional trauma of earthquakes and hurricanes, most notably, Hurricane Katrina. For their coverage, The Times-Picayune staff won a Pulitzer Prize for public service and another for breaking news. His work has appeared in newspapers, magazines, and books around the world including The New York Times, The Washington Post, Newsweek, Time, and National Geographic. He has appeared in interviews on the CBS Morning Show, ABC, CNN, Fox News, and NBC with Dan Rather and Lester Holt, has been interviewed multiple times on NPR, and was one of three subjects featured in a documentary on Hurricane Katrina on The Weather Channel’s Hurricane 360. Jackson just recently completed writing “You Ought To Do a Story About Me” about his 30-year-friendship with Jackie Wallace, a homeless man who once played in two Super Bowls.
