Frank Bass has been a reporter and editor for more than 25 years, beginning as a young journalist in Alabama, where he shared a Pulitzer Prize for coverage of the state’s infant mortality epidemic. He was the Texas Headliners Foundation Reporter of the Year for a series of features and investigations at the Houston Post. Bass also has worked at the Wall Street Journal and the Associated Press, where he directed computer investigations and shared the Gerald Loeb Award for a series of stories on mishandling of small business loans related to the September 2001 terror attacks in Washington and New York. Bass worked at Bloomberg News, where he uncovered stories ranging from a loophole that allows foreign fashion models to benefit from skilled labor visas to millionaires receiving unemployment benefits during the worst economic downturn in postwar history. Bass is currently the U.S./Canada/Europe editor for the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis, a global think tank studying the economics of the energy transition. He is also a consultant for Social Explorer, an award-winning online mapping and data visualization platform and a contributing editor for MapLight.org.
