Blogger to Address Columbia J-School Grads

Notch another victory for the unreconstructed heathens of the blogosphere.

Columbia University's School of Journalism just announced this year's graduation speakers, and giving the annual Henry Pringle lecture this year will be, for the first time, a blogger. Of course, it's not just any blogger but Talking Points Memo founder Joshua Micah Marshall, who just happens to be the only member of his profession with a George Polk Award, given to him for breaking open the story of the Bush Administration's political firing of U.S. attorneys.

The Pringle lecture is a tradition that stretches back almost 50 years; Maureen Dowd, Charles Kuralt and Doris Kearns Goodwin are among past lecturers.
