I’m a reporter and editor who’s broken news in policy, politics, energy, business, crime and health over the last decade. I joined The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, as a Washington, D.C. correspondent, in March of 2023.

My enterprise reporting has helped drive community reforms that protect tenants’ rights; launched state inquiries into sexual harassment and negligence by educators; and exposed inequity and ethics breaches in small towns, state governments and the White House.

I previously covered the Law & Money beat for the Boston Business Journal, and from October 2019 to March 2022, I covered national and state politics and breaking news for MassLive, the news site tied to The Republican in Springfield, Massachusetts.

I was the police and breaking news reporter-editor for The Day in New London, Connecticut, after covering the Day’s energy and environment beat for nearly two years. And I was the senior reporter and assistant editor for The Palladium-Times in Oswego, New York, from 2014 to 2017.

I earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism from Northeastern University. My award-winning reporting career follows a decade of successful team leadership and coaching in sales and retail management. If you have any news tips or questions, email me at bkail@post-gazette.com
