Nikole Hannah-Jones recently won the Pulitzer Prize for commentary for her essay in The New York Times Magazine’s “The 1619 Project,” despite a flood of criticism from academics and journalists saying the essay presents major misinformation about our nation. Princeton University professor Allen C. Guelzo, a visiting fellow in Heritage’s Feulner Institute, walks us through how such an egregious misstep in journalistic integrity happened. “We have seen journalistic irresponsibility before. (Think Walter Duranty, Janet Cooke, and Jayson Blair.) It grows out of the credulity of the public, the inexperience of journalists, the pressure to write dramatic copy that will fill space in a relentless 24-hour news cycle, and the confidence that the intent of the articles would be politically applauded as an act of virtue-signaling, no matter what the content,” Guelzo writes. “All one can do, however, is speak truth. Truth is great and will prevail.” Read Guelzo’s commentary to find out more about how Pulitzer overlooked the 1619 Project’s flaws.
