Sulzberger worked as an intern for The Providence Journal from 2004 to 2006, working from the paper's office in Wakefield.[6] While there, he revealed that membership of the Narragansett Lions Club was not open to women.[6] Despite threats from the club to withdraw their advertising if the story was run, the Journal published Sulzberger's story.[6] The Narragansett Lions Club began admitting women members a few months later.[6]
