Sandy K. Johnson recently left the Associated Press after 10 years as chief of bureau in Washington. Under her direction, AP won the Pulitzer Prize in 1999 for news photography of the Monica Lewinsky scandal and the subsequent impeachment of President Bill Clinton. AP was a 2001 finalist for the Pulitzer for public service for its decision not to call the 2000 presidential election for George W. Bush despite enormous pressure after the TV networks made the erroneous call. That decision, made by Johnson and 3 analysts, was subsequently awarded the presidential award by the Associated Press Managing Editors association. Johnson is a member of the Gridiron Club, the National Press Club and ASNE. She is on the National Press Foundation board of directors and the board of the Knight Center for Journalism at the University of Maryland. She was named to Washingtonian magazine's 100 Most Powerful Women of Washington in 2006.
