Doug Moe on Cardinal Alumnus Newhouse
Cap Times columnist Doug Moe's article about Eric Newhouse:
ERIC NEWHOUSE never had a chance. He was destined - doomed? - to be a newspaperman before he was even a teenager.
"I knew when I was 9 or 10," Newhouse was saying this week.
He was good, too. The problem was, he kept getting promoted. Newhouse was on the Associated Press chain of command fast track until the day destiny tapped him on the shoulder and he realized that the more he got promoted, the further away he was from the work that brought him into newspapers in the first place.
Which is how a veteran reporter finds himself in Great Falls, Mont., doing what he was born to do - meeting people, listening to them and telling their stories. Newhouse loved Great Falls and it turned out destiny wasn't finished with him, either. He found a subject - alcoholism - and a charismatic man in its grip - Bill Broderson - and so well did Newhouse report the tale that in the year 2000 he received the biggest newspaper prize of them all, the Pulitzer.
Newhouse will be in Madison this coming week, speaking on alcoholism at the Bolz Auditorium on Mound Street for Meriter Pastoral Services Thursday night, and participating in a Daily Cardinal Alumni Association panel of Pulitzer winners on the weekend.
