Ms. Dominus has written long-form stories on a wide range of topics; her most recent cover story for the New York Times Magazine was about two sets of identical twins in Bogota, Colombia who were accidentally mixed up at birth. 

In 2009, Ms. Dominus, then a columnist, was a member of a team that won the Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News for its coverage of the scandal that resulted in the resignation of Governor Eliot Spitzer. She is also the recipient of the Newswoman’s Club of New York Front Page Award, and the Mychal Judge Heart of New York award, from the National Press Club.
