Over the years, Juan González has used his column in the New York Daily News to break major corruption scandals and coverups, including the attempt to conceal the health impacts of the toxic dust released on 9/11. Tom Robbins, one of Juan González’s colleagues at the Daily News and a recent Pulitzer Prize finalist for his coverage of violence in New York’s prisons, joins us to reflect on González’s remarkable career as an organizer who led newspaper workers on a successful strike and published "one scoop after another." Robbins is now investigative journalist in residence at the CUNY Journalism School. His piece "Juan GonzálezIron Man of the News Room" has just been published.
