Timeline
Michael Gartner (born October 25, 1938, in Des Moines, Iowa) is an American journalist, attorney and businessman.
He was president of the Iowa Board of Regents.
After completing his undergraduate degree, he joined the staff of The Wall Street Journal (1960–1974), ultimately serving as page one editor.
He then served as editor and president of the Des Moines Register (1974–1985), general news executive of the Gannett Company and USA Today (1985–1986), editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal (1986–1987) and president of NBC News (1988–1993).
He previously served as a member of the Pulitzer Prize Board from 1983 to 1992.
He has also been a columnist for the Op-Ed pages of The Wall Street Journal and of USA Today.

As chair and editor of The Daily Tribune in Ames, Iowa from 1993 to 1999 (which he also co-owned from 1986 to 1999), Gartner won the 1997 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Writing for a body of work about community issues.
He resigned from NBC in 1993 as a result of controversy over the show Dateline NBC.
The show reported on dangers of GM pickup trucks, but did not state that it had actually staged the explosion of a truck for broadcast.
Years later Gartner said, "It happened on my watch. I took responsibility for it. I did what I thought you ought to do when you make a mistake. You say 'we made a mistake' and apologize to the viewers."

His career in journalism began in the sports department of the Des Moines Register at the age of 15.

Gartner chaired the Vision Iowa fund, which provided communities money to fund projects such as the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines, from 2000 to 2005.
In May 2005, Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack named him president of the Iowa Board of Regents, which oversees the state's three public universities (the University of Iowa, Iowa State University, and the University of Northern Iowa).
(Iowa City Press-Citizen, April 23, 2005.)
