Dear Friend,
I have never felt more strongly the urgency of the Pulitzer Center's mission—to support accurate, responsible journalism and to do everything we can to engage all people, across the political spectrum and the divides of class and race and religion, in the big issues that affect us all.
The political campaign that just ended made plain how deep these divides have grown. The failures of journalism, a growing inability to distinguish facts from lies, an educational system surprisingly disconnected from the complex world in which we live. We have a lot of work to do. | | | Over the next few days, I'll be sharing what makes the Pulitzer Center such a special place—but I can tell you now that there has never been a time when the Pulitzer Center's global reporting and education strategies were more important.
Nurturing current and future journalists and connecting their work to the broadest possible audiences… Building a community of citizens and students committed to learning about global challenges… Spurring dialogue and understanding. | | | | With support from the Pulitzer Center—words that tell you an important story happened because of us. A six-part PBS NewsHour series on ending AIDS. A New Yorker investigative report on war crimes in Syria. The Seattle Times series on ocean acidification that swept nearly every prize for science reporting. College students finding their voice, and calling, thanks to our international reporting fellowships.
At a time when journalism and journalists have never been more threatened, or more essential, the Pulitzer Center plays an absolutely vital role—surfacing stories that would otherwise go unreported, giving journalists the support they need to cover those stories safely, placing their reports on large media platforms. And, most critically, using our school and college educational network to sustain debate and public engagement.
Today, I'm asking you to become a part of the Pulitzer Center's story. It is imperative that the Pulitzer Center broaden and diversify every aspect of our work—our cadre of fiercely committed journalists, our media partners, our network of schools and colleges, and our donors. | | I hope you will take the time today to invest in the Pulitzer Center. Your donation supports independent, fearless and essential reporting—and the educational engagement that reporting makes possible. Our work is the basis and impetus for civil discourse, of tackling together the urgent challenges that will shape our future.
Today is the day to become part of our story. Make a donation to help us tell the global stories that matter. | | | | |
