The Leonard Lopate Show: James Boylan

James Boylan

James Boylan talks about the ethics of journalism. Boylan taught journalism at Columbia from 1957 to 1979, founded the Columbia Journalism Review and served as a Pulitzer Prize juror; he’s also the author of the recent book Pulitzer's School: Columbia University's School of Journalism, 1903-2003.

I had Boylan as a prof back in the 80's when I was a student at U-Mass,Amherst. I remember him as somewhat frail, slightly stooped over man, perhaps in his late 50's. While I have no special disagreement with what he says here, I find it very odd that he presumes to discuss "ethics." Au contraire, I found him to be a "cool customer," very evasive, rarely answering important questions directly and often lying outright.
Just my opinion.
