Lauren Nutall, is one of The 19th’s reporting fellows and a 2025 Pulitzer Center reporting grant recipient. Her Pulitzer project will focus on the school-to-deportation pipeline.
Before joining The 19th, she was part of the Ida B. Wells Society’s Investigative Internship Cohort at The Dallas Morning News, where she reported on the devastating Kerr County flooding and Trump protests.
Lauren began her journalism career as a high school freshman after writing a project on school budget cuts so severe teachers couldn’t afford printer ink.
She went on to intern at Black Enterprise for a year, publishing more than 200 stories on Black entrepreneurship and business.
She later worked at the Washington, D.C., bureau of CBS News, contributing to investigations into the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump, and into his top campaign donors and voter fraud claims.
Lauren recently earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism and international affairs from Howard University, where she wrote for Howard News Service and was an investigative reporter for The Hilltop, the university’s student newspaper.
