Nikole Hannah-Jones, who won the Pulitzer Prize for her historically inaccurate “1619 Project,” rejected the University of North Carolina’s offer of a tenured position after spending weeks complaining that she was not offered tenure.
CNN reported that Hannah-Jones made the announcement on “CBS This Morning” with Gayle King on Tuesday. Instead, Hannah-Jones has accepted a tenured position at Howard University’s school of communications as the newly created Knight Chair in Race and Journalism. The school is also creating a Center for Journalism and Democracy led by Hannah-Jones, which will reportedly train students in investigative journalism.
