Brugmann

Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism announced Monday it will present one of its 2011 Alumni Awards to Bruce Brugmann, owner of the Bay Guardian. “Since Bruce Brugmann and his wife, Jean Dibble, founded the San Francisco Bay Guardian more than 40 years ago, the feisty weekly with a slogan of ‘raising hell and printing the news’ has never let up on championing the public interest and challenging the existing power structure in government, business, and the media itself,” Columbia said in its announcement.
