Columbia Journalism Prof Headed to Telemundo

An assistant professor at Columbia’s graduate school of journalism since 2006, Mirta Ojito had also more recently been a contributing writer to website AARP en Español and the Miami Herald. But Ojito has now accepted a journalism job that precludes teaching: director, news standards, Telemundo.

From the announcement tip at Color magazine:

While at Columbia, Ojito taught reporting and writing, as well as a course she co-developed on social media and social change.

Prior to that, Ojito was a staff writer at the New York Times for more than five years, where she covered local, national and international stories and was a member of the team that won the Pulitzer Prize in 2001 for national reporting in a series entitled, “How Race is Lived in America.”
