Literary Ashland with Jim Risser

Picture of Jim Risser

I wasn’t able to participate in this interview, so you can listen to Ed Battistella as he interviews Jim Risser on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Pulitzer Prizes.

Jim Risser was the Washington Bureau Chief for the Des Moines Register and won the Pulitzer Prize for national reporting in 1976 for disclosing large-scale corruption in the American grain exporting trade.
