Pulitzer Prize Board acknowledges the "extraordinary real-time reporting" of student journalists covering campus protests. www.pulitzer.org/news/stateme...

As we gather to consider the nation’s finest and most courageous journalism, the Pulitzer Prize Board would like to recognize the tireless efforts of student journalists across our nation’s college campuses, who are covering protests and unrest in the face of great personal and academic risk. We would also like to acknowledge the extraordinary real-time reporting of student journalists at Columbia University, where the Pulitzer Prizes are housed, as the New York Police Department was called onto campus on Tuesday night. In the spirit of press freedom, these students worked to document a major national news event under difficult and dangerous circumstances and at risk of arrest.

Pulitzer prizes for this year should go towards bail or all the students involved who need it.

Good. Maybe they'll give one to one of those student newspapers then. That'll send a message.

Those kids at WKCR (it's basically a jazz station) went from introducing Ornette Coleman sets to defending journalistic integrity. And they did it on the fly; because they were there and they knew it was the right thing to do!

These students are going to win a Pulitzer for their reporting and that's going to be so fucking awkward for Columbia.

Do they recognize spin? Do they recognize complicity? Do they recognize genocide? Do they recognize a fucking thing they're not given permission to recognize?

The actual correct thing for them to do is to hold the award ceremony as part of the encampment in solidarity. The VIP attendees can either help or get fucked.

Give those kids all the awards. They did a spectacular job.

Good job, kids! (We're not relocating.)

Nice, but I kind of thought that was just going to be the intro to something substantive. But nope, that's the whole statement. Not even a 'so we are also going to give out this student-only consolation prize' or 'dedicate this years' awards to...'
