Sanger has received numerous journalistic awards, including being named twice among New York Times reporting teams honored with the Pulitzer Prize. In 1987, his reporting team won the Pulitzer for national reporting for its investigation of NASA following the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. Later, he was part of another Pulitzer-winning team reporting on the Clinton administration’s struggle to control exports to China. In 2004, he and four other colleagues also shared the top award of the American Society of Newspaper Editors for deadline writing for their team coverage of the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster.

Sanger also has frequently been a guest on public television shows such as Washington Week and The Charlie Rose Show.
