As journalists-in-residence, Pelley and Alfonsi will work closely with students through lectures, workshops and special events focused on reporting, investigative journalism and sourcing. They will also each contribute an article to the “Columbia Journalism Review.” “Their distinguished track records in investigative reporting highlight the amazing opportunity our students will have to learn from them.” The appointments are part of Columbia Journalism School’s CJS2030: Democracy Initiative, which aims to strengthen accountability reporting and investigative journalism. Pelley and Alfonsi are among several recent high-profile departures from “60 Minutes” following a dramatic leadership transition at CBS News.
