The Pulitzer Center is a well known and well established organization dedicated to the advancement and betterment of journalism and journalists. On April 25th 2013 Westchester Community College hosted the Pulitzer Center’s “Meet the Pros” event. In which, students had the opportunity to watch presentations by professional journalists. Students were additionally given the opportunity to interact directly with these speakers via a question and answer period. Specifically, those presenting were Allison Shelley, a well established photo-journalist, and Melissa Turley, the 2012 student fellow from George Washington University. They both spoke at length about journalism, the Pulitzer Center, the various programs they have been involved in and the center offers, and their experiences as well. They also granted deep and personal insight to the students via the question and answer period. After the presentation, students of Professor Luther’s Multimedia Journalism class had the chance to interview the presenters, as well as staff and students involved with and attending the event. This media is chronicled in the small video linked below.
