The
University of Delaware welcomed Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Maggie Haberman on May 4. The New York Times senior political correspondent joined UD's Nancy Karibjanian for the inaugural Byline event, presented by UD Journalism. The event marked World Press Freedom Day and explored Haberman's years covering former President Donald Trump, documented in her New York Times best-seller,
Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America.”
Haberman joined the New York Times in 2015 and was part of a team that won a Pulitzer Prize in 2018 for reporting on Donald Trump’s advisers and their connections to Russia. She previously worked at Politico, the New York Post and the New York Daily News.
The event was made possible with generous support from Edward A. Nickerson for UD journalism, designed to bring prominent journalists to campus to share their experiences with UD students. A former reporter and editor for the Associated Press, Edward Nickerson joined UD's faculty in 1970. After retiring in 1991, "Nick" established a fund to support UD students. Countless UD Journalism graduates credit their experience in Nickerson's classroom as a roadmap to their success in the field. Learn more about the University of Delaware at
