Ellen Goodman
The Function of Media in a Free Society
Goodman has been an innovative force in American
journalism. She once said, ?I think readers need to be less alienated from
editorial pages? and made them so by expanding the debate on op-ed pages. She
has commented on the tumult of social change and its impact on families, and
shattered the mold of men writing exclusively about politics. She is widely
acclaimed as a voice of sanity, and readers depend on her to help them make
sense of their changing lives and relationships.
In addition to the
Pulitzer Prize for Distinguished Commentary, Goodman has won many other awards,
including the American Society of Newspaper Editors Distinguished Writing Award
in 1980. She received the Hubert H. Humphrey Civil Rights Award from the
Leadership Conference on Civil Rights in1988. In 1993, at its Seventh Annual
Exceptional Merit Media Award Ceremony, The National Women's Political Caucus
gave her the President's Award. In 1994, the Women's Research & Education
Institute presented her with their American Woman Award.
Goodman's first
job was at Newsweek as a researcher, at a time when only men became writers. She
landed a job as a reporter for the Detroit Free Press in 1965 and, in 1967, for
The Boston Globe where she began writing her column. Her column was syndicated
by The Washington Post Writers Group beginning in 1976.
Goodman's first
book, Turning Points, detailed the effect of the changing roles of women on the
family. Five collections of her columns have been published: ?Close to Home; ?At
Large? (Summit Books, 1981); ?Keeping in Touch?; ?Making Sense?; and ?Value
Judgments. She is also co-author with Patricia O'Brien of "I Know Just What You
Mean: The Power of Friendship in Women's Lives".
