Every Spec op-ed writer’s dream
This afternoon, the Columbia Journalism School announced the 2016 winners of the Pulitzer Prize. As is the tradition (and, perhaps, to make directions easier for the older writers attending the event), the prizes were awarded in Pulitzer Hall. You can watch the live announcement on Pulitzer’s website.
Notable winners included Lin-Manuel Miranda for Hamilton, Associated Press for a series exposing slavery and abuse in the Southeast Asia fishing trade that led to broad reforms in the industry, and two awards for The New Yorker (only one year after magazines became eligible for some of the awards.)

@CU_Alum At least two of the winners are alumni, including Alissa J. Rubin GSAS ’86 in International Reporting, and T. J. Stiles GSAS ’91 in History. At least one other, Peter Balakian (Poetry), have taught at Columbia. There may be more; this is only what a quick search turned up.
