Home News Dow Journalism Program announces Pulliam Fellow

Jonah Goldberg, syndicated columnist and editor at National Review, will spend two weeks on campus next semester as the Eugene C. Pulliam Visiting Fellow in Journalism.

Goldberg will teach a one-credit class between April 6 and April 18. He will then deliver a public speech the night of April 18.

“Jonah is very funny and deeply principled,” said Dow Journalism Program Director John Miller. “He combines wit with sound thinking. It’s not a unique combination, but it’s a rare one.”

Goldberg has several Hillsdale College connections. Besides speaking on campus several times, including a commencement address at Hillsdale Academy, he also employed a Hillsdale student as his intern two summers ago.

He’s published two books, “Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning” and “Tyranny of Cliches: How Liberals Cheat in the War of Ideas.”

In addition to his experience with Washington, D.C., and the realm of national journalism, Miller said he thinks Goldberg will have helpful things to say about social media.

“He’s the best Twitter user I know,” Miller said.
