Pulitzer Prize-winning KU grad gives lecture, visits students

Wall Street Journal Chicago bureau chief Kevin Helliker returns to KU
KU graduate Kevin Helliker, Chicago bureau chief for the Wall Street Journal and 2004 Pulitzer Prize winner for explanatory journalism, visited KU’s School of Journalism last month and made a public speech Nov. 29 about aortic aneurysms, the subject of his Pulitzer Prize-winning series.


He co-wrote the series with fellow Wall Street Journal reporter Thomas M. Burton.


While at KU, Helliker met with journalism students and faculty and discussed the important role journalists play in disseminating life-saving medical information.


Helliker is a Kansas City, Kan., native who earned a bachelor’s degree in English literature from KU in 1982. He took several classes from the School of Journalism and Mass Communications while he was at KU.
