BDN covers talk by 2015 Pulitzer Prize winner
The Bangor Daily News reported on a presentation by Kathleen Kingsbury, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and deputy managing editor of The Boston Globe. The 2015 award winner for editorial writing spoke at the Bangor Public Library as part of Pulitzer Week. To celebrate 100 years of the Pulitzer Prizes, the University of Maine’s Department of Communication and Journalism, along with the Bangor Public Library, are hosting three winners of journalism’s top award throughout March 24–31. The guests visit UMaine journalism classes, as well as lead public presentations on campus and at the library. Kingsbury, who wrote the award-winning series “Service Not Included,” discussed labor and exploitation in the restaurant industry. “Despite a recovery in the economy, wages are still too low for too many workers. Too many families are struggling to survive, to put food on the table and make sure their family’s future is brighter than their own,” she said.
