My Take
Eugene Robinson represents the kind of journalism I admire most. Rising from Orangeburg, South Carolina, through the University of Michigan to become an associate editor and chief political analyst at The Washington Post is a remarkable arc, and his 2009 Pulitzer for Commentary confirms the quality of his prose. What impresses me beyond the prizes is the trust his peers placed in him, electing him to the Pulitzer Board and later its chair. Columns syndicated to hundreds of papers shape national debate quietly but powerfully, and writers with that reach and integrity are exactly what keep public discourse honest.
