David Hasemyer
David Hasemyer is an American journalist and author. With Lisa Song and Elizabeth McGowan, he won the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting, and a 2016 Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award. He graduated, in 1979, from San Diego State University, with a Bachelor's in Journalism. Hasemyer was raised in Moab, Utah.
Hasemyer has worked as a reporter for over 4 decades, including 30-years as an investigative reporter with the San Diego Union-Tribune. He's worked as an environmental reporter with InsideClimate News and does freelance reporting.
Hasemyer attended San Diego City College, graduating in 1976. He attended San Diego State University, (1976-1979) where he earned his Bachelor's in Journalism.
His first work in journalism was as a writer while attending City College. While a student at San Diego State University, he served as editor of The Daily Aztec, for 2 semesters.
Hasemyer began working for The San Diego Evening Tribune after graduation; he was there for the 1991 merger, when it became The San Diego Union-Tribune. He finished a 30-year career, as an investigative reporter with the Union-Tribune in 2009, losing his position during a massive lay-off.
During his tenure with the Union-Tribune, Hasemyer covered a wide range of topics. In 1984, Hasemyer, flew to Montserrat, in an attempt to track down and interview J. David Dominelli, working on a tip from Nancy Hoover, Dominelli's girlfriend and one-time Del Mar mayor. Hoover told Hasemyer that Dominelli had fled to the Caribbean island, leaving a letter explaining why. Dominelli had cheated investors out of approximately 80 million dollars, in a Ponzi scheme.
Hasemyer spent nearly a week, in an often contentious battle with other reporters, trying to get an interview, promised by Dominelli. However, Hasemyer was turned away the day the interview was scheduled for. In an interview, after learning that Dominelli gave an on-camera interview with another organization, Hasemyer recalled his frustration:
I was at the Vue Pointe when Donley came back and got his cameraman, and this was right after Dominelli told me he wouldn't talk to me. So I called him back and told him I was outraged. You won't talk to me, I told him, "yet you talked to the Times and look what they did to you." [Earlier, Hasemyer had called his office and had both the Times and the Union stories read to him.] I told him, "Listen, I've always been friendly with you. Every time I interviewed you in San Diego and you wanted something kept off the record. I didn't use it," and finally he started vacillating a bit and he told me to call him back. I worked a while and then called him again; this time he said he'd talk, but only with the Union there, too.
