Three journalism leaders elected to head Pulitzer Prize Board

All three have served on the board since 2003. They replace David Kennedy, a Stanford historian who recently completed his tenure. His co-chair, Amanda Bennett, an executive editor at Bloomberg News, resigned from the board on Jan. 1 prior to the end of her term. Board members serve a maximum of nine years while a chair serves for only one year. The new co-chairs will share responsibilities over the course of the year.
