Pringle is an investigative reporter at the Los Angeles Times. He has covered stories that include the 2004 California wildfires, corruption in the Service Employees International Union, misspending in Los Angeles's community colleges, corruption in Bell, California, abuses by the Coliseum Commission, drug use by former USC Keck School of Medicine Dean Carmen Puliafito and a subsequent lack of response by the Pasadena Police Department, and the alleged abuse of women by USC gynecologist George Tyndall.
His book, Bad City: Peril and Power in the City of Angels, is a behind-the-scenes look at his investigation into Puliafito and the consequent exposure of corruption at USC, the Pasadena Police Department, and the Los Angeles Times. The book was published by Celadon Books in 2022. It describes his year-long struggle to get the story of Puliafito's drug-fueled sexual activities published. Pringle's reporting on the case began with a March 2016 overdose incident, but his superiors at the Times refused to publish the story, because they did not want to offend USC. He and colleagues persisted, continuing to research the case, until the Times finally published the report in July 2017, long after Puliafito had resigned as dean. Katie Benner of The New York Times wrote that "Pringle’s fast-paced book is a master class in investigative journalism," adding "Pringle delivers his account in a torrent of sharp storytelling and righteous score-settling that might seem petty if the stakes were not so grave."
