Haynes Johnson, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and best selling author and television commentator, is the special guest on this episode of the "Conversations from St. Norbert College" television show, hosted by dean and academic vice president of the college, Michael Marsden. They will discuss Johnson's career and achievements.
Johnson holds a master's degree in American history from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is now the Knight Chair at the Philip Merrill College of Journalism at the University of Maryland.
After serving for three years as a first lieutenant in artillery during the Korean War, Johnson began his newspaper career in 1956 as a reporter for the Wilmington News-Journal. In 1966 he won the Pulitzer Prize for distinguished national reporting of the civil rights struggle in Selma, Ala. At its May commencement ceremony, St. Norbert College awarded Johnson, who was the commencement speaker, an honorary Doctor of Laws degree in recognition of his lifelong service to journalism and American political thought, along with his many other personal achievements.
Johnson has reported on virtually every major national and international news event in the past four decades and he is the author of many books about the American political and cultural landscape. He appears regularly on the PBS-TV programs "Washington Week in Review" and "The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer."
