Charles Leffingwell Bartlett was an American journalist. He won the 1956 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting "for his original disclosures that lead to the resignation of Harold E. Talbott as Secretary of the Air Force."
Bartlett was born in Chicago, Illinois to Valentine Crouse Bartlett and Marie A. Bartlett. He married Josephine Martha Buck on December 17, 1950.
He started the Washington D.C. bureau for the liberal-leaning Chattanooga Times. Bartlett has been credited with arranging the blind date that initiated the courtship of Jacqueline Bouvier and Massachusetts Representative John F. Kennedy. A longtime Washington insider, Bartlett was graduated by Yale University with the Class of 1943.
