Gregg Krupa, 48, is a senior writer at The Detroit News. He is assigned to enterprise and projects, and spends considerable time covering the Arab and Chaldean communities in southeastern Michigan.

A Detroit native, Krupa arrived at The News in September 2000, after 10 years as an assistant metropolitan editor and staff reporter at The Boston Globe. Before that he worked at The Manhattan Lawyer and Sports Inc. in New York City and from 1979 to 1987 he was a staff writer for The Providence Journal-Bulletin.

A series of reports to which he contributed at The News, entitled "Always Suspect: Local Arabs and the War on Terror," won the Michigan Bar Association's 30th Annual Wade H. McCree Jr. Award for the Advancement of Justice and first place in the Detroit Metropolitan Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists Awards for Journalism Excellence.

In 1993, Krupa and his reporters won the New England Associated Press's Award for Community Service for several reports on domestic violence that resulted in the Massachusetts legislature adopting new laws.

Krupa graduated from The University of Michigan in 1978, and was co-editor-in-chief of The Michigan Daily. He lives in Detroit.
