Profile

Bio

Jack Ohman was born on September 1, 1960, in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Ohman has been the editorial cartoonist and Deputy California Opinion Editor of The Sacramento Bee since 2013. He worked at The Oregonian from 1983-2012, the Detroit Free Press from 1982-1983, and The Columbus Dispatch from 1981-1982. Has been syndicated by Tribune Content Agency for 200 newspapers.

Jack Ohman is the 2016 winner of the Pulitzer Prize and was a finalist in 2012. In addition, he’s won the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award, the Overseas Press Club award, the Society of Professional Journalists Award, the National Headliner Award, the Scripps Howard Award, the 2013 finalist for Herblock Award, and Second Place in the 1970 Scotts Seed Company art contest, for which he won a $25 U.S. Savings Bond.

He is the author of ten books, and four, inexplicably, are about fly fishing. He is married with six children, and, wow, is he proud of them all. He used to work at newspapers. With ink.

OUR MISSION

The mission of the AAEC is to champion and defend editorial cartooning and free speech as essential to liberty in the United States and throughout the world.

The AAEC aims to be an international leader in support of the human, civil, and artistic rights of editorial cartoonists around the world, and to stand with other international groups in support of the profession.

LOCHER FELLOWSHIP

The AAEC John Locher Memorial Fellowship is awarded each year to one early-career cartoonist whose work demonstrates clear opinions and strong artistry on political and social topics. Deadline to be considered is the end of March.

The Locher Fellow will receive a one-year Regular membership in the AAEC, be a guest of the CXC Festival — held every fall in Columbus, Ohio —  and have the opportunity to meet with editorial cartoonists during the year of the Fellowship for portfolio reviews and career advice.
