Bernard L. Stein

Bernard L. "Buddy" Stein is an American journalist best known for winning the 1998 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Writing for "his gracefully-written editorials on politics and other issues affecting New York City residents." He spent his career as the co-publisher and editor of The Riverdale Press, a weekly newspaper serving the Northwest Bronx.

Stein and his brother Richard Stein were awarded the Eugene S. Pulliam First Amendment Award by the Society of Professional Journalists for courage in continuing to publish following the 1989 firebombing of the Riverdale Press office in retaliation for an editorial defending the novelist Salman Rushdie.

He won the Lisa and Richard Witten Award for Excellence in Teaching during his last year at Hunter College in 2014. Provided by Wikipedia
