Campus Protests Student JournalistsThe Pulitzer Prize Board has released a statement commending the student journalists who are working around the clock to cover the protests on their own college campuses.
The board, which issues annual awards for outstanding achievement in journalism and the arts, said the student journalists were tirelessly covering the unrest “in the face of great personal and academic risk.” The statement specifically recognized “the extraordinary real-time reporting” of student journalists at Columbia University, where the Pulitzer Prizes are housed and where the nationwide campus demonstrations began on April 17.
The New York Police Department officers began arresting protesters at Columbia Wednesday evening, and one student journalist reported being ordered into a dormitory by police along with other reporters and being threatened with arrest if he tried to leave. “In the spirit of press freedom, these students worked to document a major national news event under difficult and dangerous circumstances at risk of arrest,” the board wrote.
