Proud Pulitzer Prize Winners

The UNC Hussman School of Journalism and Media is proud to celebrate six graduates who have been awarded 2020 Pulitzer Prizes. This year’s winners represent the breadth of experience and talent of the school’s alumni community and the continuing impact of UNC Hussman on the journalism industry. 

“We are so proud that our alumni continue to lead national conversations. Throughout their beats and fields, they make their mark by not just covering news, but uncovering it,” said Susan King, dean of the school. “That is the UNC Hussman value, and we are happy to see our students carry the lessons they learned of our excellent faculty and staff and peers into the world as alumni.”

Since the 1950s, UNC Hussman graduates have continued that tradition of public service and many have been awarded Pulitzers throughout the years. The 2020 winners were all involved in projects that sparked national conversations and recognitions.
