Even before Jelani Cobb became Dean of the Columbia Journalism School, he was an educator. His reportage at The New Yorker (where he’s been writing about race and politics since 2012), steeped in history. And yet not even Cobb could’ve been prepared for what he’s described as a “harrowing” year in academia.
On the heels of graduation week at Columbia, Cobb joins us for a wide-ranging discussion about the climate on campuses across the country (5:14), the Trump administration’s sustained attacks on higher education (10:26), and the “potentially unlawful” detainment of student activist Mahmoud Khalil (15:06). Then, Cobb speaks to the challenges of public trust in journalism (28:30), “the beneficial workplace” he hopes to cultivate in newsrooms (40:00), and why young journalists continue to inspire him (46:00).
On the back-half, Jelani reflects on the five years since the murder of George Floyd (51:00), the fleeting corporate activism of 2020 (59:00), the importance of understanding Civil Rights history (1:06:00), and why he’s determined to continue telling stories in “dangerous times” (1:10:00).
