The Marshall Project is a nonpartisan and nonprofit Pulitzer Prize-winning news organization that focuses on the issues surrounding the U.S. criminal justice system. It collaborates with other news outlets and journalists to publish investigations and educate their audiences, while generating interest about national controversy and reform within the criminal justice system.

Prior to Barsky’s founding of the Marshall Project he was a newspaper reporter at The Wall Street Journal and the New York Daily News; an equity research analyst at Morgan Stanley; a hedge fund manager at Midtown Capital and Alson Capital; and a documentary film director of “Koch.”

The Poynter Fellowship in Journalism was established by Nelson Poynter, who received his master’s degree in 1927 from Yale. The fellowship brings to campus journalists from a wide variety of media outlets who have made significant contributions to their field.
