2025 Clurman Award Recipient
Norman Pearlstine
The Livingston Awards honored Norman Pearlstine with the 2025 Richard M. Clurman Award for his dedication to counseling, nurturing and inspiring young journalists. Pearlstine held top editorial roles at some of the nation’s most influential news organizations, including executive editor of the Los Angeles Times, editor-in-chief and chief content officer at Time Inc., chief content officer at Bloomberg L.P., managing editor and executive editor at The Wall Street Journal and executive editor at Forbes.
In a video tribute at the luncheon, generations of journalists reflected on Pearlstine’s mentorship and his lasting influence on their careers.
“While many can claim Norm as a former boss, I feel particularly fortunate. He saw potential in me that I sometimes couldn’t see myself, building my confidence with each challenge he entrusted me to handle.”
