Pittsburgh Post-Gazette managing editor Sally Stapleton has held leadership roles covering the most far-reaching stories, including the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Newtown, Conn., and Tree of Life synagogue hate crime shootings in Pittsburgh as well as funerals for Princess Diana and Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping, the terror attacks of September 11, national political conventions, World Cups, Olympic Games and the Rwanda genocide, which was awarded the Feature Photography Pulitzer Prize in 1995 for an Associated Press staff entry.
She was with AP Photos from 1990 until the end of 2003. From 1991 to 2002, AP Photos received nine Pulitzer Prizes in photography. As deputy executive photo editor, Stapleton was responsible for all editorial aspects of the U.S. and international photo operations.
In 2002, she received a Fulbright scholarship to work with Rwandan journalists in visual journalism that led to her involvement in establishing a media training center for working journalists in the Rwandan capital of Kigali. She formed a journalism education nonprofit to assist the Great Lakes Media Center, which launched there in 2008.
That year, she also joined the public-trust news organization The Day in New London, Conn., as the managing editor for online and photography.
In 2016, she joined the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. In 2017, she was named to the Associated Press Media Editors (APME) board and remains on the executive board with the newly formed News Leaders Association, a result of last year’s merger between the American Society of News Editors (ASNE) and APME.
A native of Kennett, Mo., and a third-generation journalist, Stapleton earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in journalism at the University of Missouri-Columbia.
