Bulletin’s Thomas Gaulkin wins design award

Thomas Gaulkin, multimedia editor for the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, won a 2020 Peter Lisagor Award for Best Design in a Specialty Publication.

“The Bulletin has made an investment in new multimedia approaches to help inform the public about man-made threats to humanity,” Gaulkin said. “These digital stories and online experiences wouldn’t exist without the dedication of our staff and contributors, and it’s an extraordinary privilege to be a part of it.”

Gaulkin joined the Bulletin as its multimedia editor in 2018. He spent the previous decade working in communications at the University of Chicago, first with the centers for International Studies and International Social Science Research, and later as Director of News and Online Content for the Division of the Social Sciences. From 1999-2002, and again in 2006, Gaulkin produced Worldview, Chicago Public Radio’s daily global affairs program.
