Michaela Zee Tom Shales, a Pulitzer-winning television critic at the Washington Post who spent nearly 40 years at the publication, has died.
He was 79. Shales died Saturday at a hospital in Fairfax County, Va., from complications due to COVID-19 and renal failure, his caretaker, Victor Herfurth, told the Washington Post.
Shales began his career as the Post’s chief TV critic in 1977, and was known for his incisive and sharp commentary on various forms of television, from cable dramas to network sitcoms, from State of the Union speeches to late-night shows.
He was first hired by the Post in 1972 as a style writer. In 1988, Shales won the Pulitzer Prize for criticism, becoming the fourth TV reviewer to earn the honor in journalism.
