- Share via
Paul Conrad, three-time Pulitzer Prize winner and political cartoonist for the Los Angeles Times since 1964, will retire from the newspaper on March 31.
Conrad, 68, will continue to have his cartoons distributed by the Los Angeles Times Syndicate. His cartoons will appear twice a week in The Times, which will also continue to carry the work of a variety of other editorial cartoonists.
While on the Times staff, Conrad was awarded Pulitzer Prizes in 1971 and 1984. In 1988, the Society of Professional Journalists / Sigma Delta Chi (SDX) presented him with his sixth Distinguished Service Award for Editorial Cartooning--making him the only journalist to win that many SDX awards in any category. He has also won two Overseas Press Club awards, and is a three-time recipient of the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award.
He is currently working on a book that will include the best of his work during his 29 years with The Times.
