Bernard Schoenburg's career in journalism began at The Daily Illini, investigating a fraternity that was scalping concert tickets. He went on to work at the Bloomington Pantagraph in 1977, then at the Associated Press in Chicago, and eventually to the Springfield Journal-Register in 1990. He was also a regular host of "CapitolView," a weekly political affairs program on public TV. His tenacity and work ethic made him a powerful force in political journalism in Illinois. Schoenburg covered national political conventions, grilled governors, state legislators, members of Congress, and former President Barack Obama when he was a state and U.S. senator. Always fair, never shy, he held governors, representatives, senators, and institutions accountable. Schoenburg was part of the team that won a prestigious George Polk Award in 1994 for its "Cash Transaction" series about campaign contributions and government contracts. He also received numerous awards for his work as a columnist. Schoenburg retired in 2020.
