The winners of this year’s Pulitzer Prizes, newspaper journalism’s highest honors, will be announced at Columbia on Monday. Almost a century after the prizes were founded, the world of newspaper journalism is in turmoil as papers nationwide struggle to stay afloat. This week, The Eye sits down with Sig Gissler, the administrator of the Pulitzers, to see how the awards are adapting to the changing media landscape. We also speak with Bill Grueskin, the dean of academic affairs at the Journalism School, to find out why anyone would want to go to the J-school at a time like this.
