词条 | Page, Clarence |
释义 | Page, Clarence American journalist born June 2, 1947, Dayton, Ohio, U.S. American newspaper columnist and television commentator specializing in urban affairs. While still in high school in Middletown, Ohio, Page worked for the Middletown Journal and the Cincinnati Enquirer. After graduating from Ohio University (B.S.) in 1969, he was hired by the Chicago Tribune as a reporter. Within several months, however, he was drafted into the U.S. Army, where he served as a journalist. In 1971 Page returned to the Tribune, and from 1980 to 1984 he worked at WBBM-TV in Chicago, first as a director of community affairs and next as a reporter and editor. He was brought back to the Tribune as a syndicated columnist and member of the editorial board in 1984 and won a Pulitzer Prize for his commentary in 1989. Page wrote frequently on topics of race and African American identity, as well as on a number of other pressing social and political issues, including HIV/AIDS (AIDS), civil rights, and the Iraq War. Some of his most impassioned essays appeared in his book Showing My Color: Impolite Essays on Race and Identity (1996), in which he argued against the concept of “color-blindness,” emphasizing instead the importance of engaging one's ethnic heritage. |
