Mark your calendars for two upcoming programs featuring Pulitzer Prize winners as part of The Pulitzer Prize Centennial project:

Fort Collins event

Joanna Bean

Joanna Bean and Stephanie Swearngin – two key figures in 2014 Pulitzer Prize-winning reporting by The Gazette in Colorado Springs – will be featured in a program at the Fort Collins Coloradoan.

The program will be free and open to the public. A reception at 6:30 p.m. will precede the one-hour program in the Coloradoan Cafe.

The event is limited to the first 70 to RSVP via Facebook, or to lgustus@coloradoan.com

The Gazette’s 2013 series of articles and photos – titled Other Than Honorable – documented the story of three soldiers, among a wave of many more, who were discharged from the Army for misconduct likely related to injuries they sustained in combat. The Pulitzer was for National Reporting.

“Our program, ‘It takes a team to win a Pulitzer,’ will focus on the large team and the teamwork behind the project and what it took to pull it off,” Bean said.

The Coloradoan, Colorado State University, Colorado Pro Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, the Colorado Press Association and KUNC are sponsoring the Sept. 27 program.

Grand Junction event

Tom Hallman

Join Tom Hallman, a senior reporter for The Oregonian, The Daily Sentinel and Colorado Mesa University for an evening to discuss the stories behind his prize-winning stories.

Hallman’s poignant profile of a disfigured 14-year-old boy who elected to have life-threatening surgery earned Hallman the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing in 2001. He then authored the book, “Sam: The Boy Behind the Mask.”

The event is free and will be held in the University Center 235 West Ballroom at Colorado Mesa University. Seating is limited.
