Angela M. Hill joined ASU in 2024. In January, she was named the Ida B. Wells Professor in Journalism at Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. She works with Cronkite News, Carnegie-Knight News21 and the Howard Center for Investigative Journalism. Hill has also been tasked by Cronkite with fostering collaborations with other journalism and communications schools and assisting in graduate student recruitment.
Her work for ABC News Network, Scripps News Washington Bureau and the Washington Post led to groundbreaking stories and recognition. Hill has received numerous awards for her work, including multiple Emmys and Peabodys, a George Polk, an Edward R. Murrow and the Robert F. Kennedy Grand Prize. In May 2024, she received the Pulitzer Prize in investigative journalism. She was part of a team that won the Pulitzer Prize on May 6 for the Washington Post investigative series “American Icon.” As senior video producer at The Post, Hill was one of more than 60 journalists who embarked on a seven-month investigation, which examines the impact and increased popularity of the AR-15 in the United States and its involvement in mass shootings.
As a senior video producer at The Washington Post, she co-led a team of 10 video journalists who film, produce and edit enterprise and investigative stories, breaking news and multimedia projects. Angela’s expertise in investigative work was fundamental on such stories as “Built and Broken,” where she helped produce a twelve minute mini-documentary focusing on the exploitation of female athletes within the sport of bodybuilding and a mini-documentary looking at mental health emergencies calls that led to fatal police shootings.
Hill also contributed a number of interactive projects including “Flight of the Condors,” “Facing the Surge,” “Dreams and Deadly Seas” and “Nature, Undammed.” She led the paper’s efforts to profile the legal developments of Crosley Green, a Floridian who was ordered released from prison after 32 years. She was able to secure exclusive coverage and video interviews of Green shortly before he was ordered back to prison after a two-year release amid the coronavirus pandemic. Hill was also the first to secure an interview with Kim Hallock Landers, the woman who accused Green of the crime, in some of her first public comments in years.
In addition, she has been an adjunct lecturer at Georgetown University’s School of Continuing Studies for the master’s degree in journalism.
Hill completed her master’s degree in journalism at The Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at the City University of New York The City University of New York School of Journalism and earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Georgetown University.
