Brett Murphy, a Pitt graduate, was a key member of the ProPublica team that was awarded the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service Reporting and considered the highest honor in journalism. That team was recognized for its "groundbreaking and ambitious reporting that pierced the thick wall of secrecy surrounding the Supreme Court to reveal how a small group of politically influential billionaires wooed justices with lavish gifts and travel, pushing the Court to adopt its first code of conduct." Mr. Murphy returns to discuss that work and its impact with CNN's Katelyn Polantz, Emmy Award-winning reporter and also a Pitt graduate, and Chancellor Emeritus Mark Nordenberg.
