Ames Alexander’s Biography

Ames Alexander, an investigative reporter for The Charlotte Observer, has examined rampant corruption in North Carolina's prisons, less than charitable behavior by nonprofit hospitals, the mistreatment of injured poultry workers and many other subjects.

His stories have led to new laws, congressional hearings, criminal prosecutions and more than 60 awards – including the Robert F. Kennedy journalism prize, the Investigative Reporters and Editors award, the Gerald Loeb business reporting prize, and the Sigma Delta Chi investigative reporting award.

In 2013 and in 1995, he and several colleagues were named Pulitzer finalists. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, he has written for the Observer since 1993.
