CRANSTON, RI, October 25, 2018 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Marquis Who's Who, the world's premier publisher of biographical profiles, is proud to present Tracy Breton with the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award.

As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
After accruing more than 40 years of practiced experience in journalism and reporting, Ms. Breton retired in 2013 from her role as an investigative and legal affairs reporter for The Providence Journal, where she started as a reporter in 1973. While in college, she gained valuable experience in the field with the News-Times in Danbury, CT. Currently, she parlays her knowledge of the field to others through her role as the Clarence Raymond Adams and Rachel Blodgett Adams visiting professor of English in the Nonfiction Writing Program at Brown University. Throughout her career, she has had the opportunity to write important stories that have earned her extensive recognition, including a Pulitzer Prize. However, the most rewarding aspects of her career have been when she has had the opportunity to write about ordinary people and their everyday struggles.
Ms. Breton holds a Bachelor of Arts in journalism and political science from Syracuse University, where she graduated magna cum laude. She has written stories for The New York Times and many other professional publications. She has been a visiting writing coach at the Poynter Institute for Media Studies and for many years was a speaker at the National Writers' Workshop. Although she has left daily journalism, she continues to write.

For her outstanding work, Ms. Breton has been recognized with awards for Best Feature Story through United Press International, a Master Reporter Award from the New England Society of Newspaper Editors and a Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting, as well as many other awards.
