Steiger, editor-in-chief, CEO and president of ProPublica, will give the Reed Sarratt Distinguished Lecture at the UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication on Feb. 20 at 6 p.m. in the Gerrard Hall on the UNC campus. His talk, titled “From Mainstream Media to a Non-Profit News Startup,” is free and open to the public. In 2008, Steiger founded ProPublica — an independent, non-profit newsroom — to produce investigative journalism at a time when many news organizations lack the resources to pursue those stories. ProPublica reporters have won two Pulitzer Prizes for stories that chronicled one hospital’s doctors when they were cut off by the floodwaters of Hurricane Katrina and that exposed questionable practices on Wall Street that contributed to the nation’s economic recession. Steiger served as the managing editor of the Wall Street Journal from 1991 to 2007. During his tenure, members of the Journal’s newsroom staff were awarded 16 Pulitzer Prizes.   Location : Gerrard Hall Contact : This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
