The Nevada Sagebrush

The Reynolds School of Journalism hired a Pulitzer Prize-winning former newspaper editor as a temporary guest professor.

Caesar Andrews, who was the executive editor of the Detroit Free Press, will teach classes in media ethics and multimedia reporting at the University of Nevada, Reno.

The journalism school was able to hire Andrews using grant money as the Paul A. Leonard Distinguished Visiting Chair for Ethics and Writing in Journalism.

Before coming to UNR, Andrews served on the board of the national Student Press Law Center, the Council for Higher Education Accreditation and on the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications. He also worked as the Reynolds Distinguished Visiting Professor in the Department of Journalism and Mass Communications at Washington and Lee University in Virginia during the fall semester.

The Pulitzer Prize he helped win was a result of a Detroit Free Press investigation that exposed  a scandal in the Detroit mayor’s office and ultimately led to then-popular Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick’s conviction on perjury and obstruction of justice charges.
