As The Daily Catch continues its growth trajectory and enhances its ambitions for even stronger reporting on Red Hook and Rhinebeck, the paper is delighted to announce the appointment of Jake Bernstein as managing editor.
In an award-winning journalism career spanning more than 30 years, Bernstein has been an author, editor, foreign correspondent, and investigative reporter. He was the senior reporter for the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists on its Panama Papers investigation. In 2017, the project won the Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting. His book on the Panama Papers, The Laundromat, was made into a Netflix movie starring Meryl Streep, Gary Oldman, and Antonio Banderas, for which Bernstein served as executive producer. He earned his first Pulitzer Prize in 2011 for National Reporting for coverage of the 2008 financial crisis. Bernstein has written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, Bloomberg, The Guardian, ProPublica, and The New York Review of Books, among others. He was the editor of The Texas Observer and is also the co-author of Vice: Dick Cheney and the Hijacking of the American Presidency.
