Blackledge was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and is a 1986 alumnus of Louisiana State University . [citation needed He began his career that year with the Associated Press, and later worked for The Journal Newspapers in suburban Washington, D.C., Education DailyThe Mobile Register The Birmingham News in 1998.[1]
While with the News , Blackledge contributed to Alabama AP Managing Editors Association Award-winning stories on the 2003 conviction of Bobby Frank Cherry for the 1963 16th Street Baptist Church bombing.[2]
Blackledge's multi-part investigative series on the two-year colleges delved deeply into financial records kept by the system, exposing a number of elected lawmakers on the system's payroll without clear duties. [citation needed The system's chancellor was fired, federal and state investigations opened, and new safeguards for public accountability promised in the wake of the exposé. [citation needed The series earned Blackledge a 2006 Alabama Associated Press Association Award.[3] Pulitzer Prize for Public Service , and it was named a finalist in that category before the committee awarded it the prize for investigative reporting instead.
