Neil Brown
Neil Brown, who joined the Pulitzer Prize Board in 2015, is set to become president of the Poynter Institute. Brown currently serves as editor and vice president of The Tampa Bay Times.
Brown is a four-time Pulitzer Prize juror, and under his leadership the Times won more national and state awards than at any time in its history, including six Pulitzer Prizes.
