Bernard “Buddy” L. Stein is an American journalist best known for winning the 1998 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Writing for writing on “politics and other issues affecting New York City residents.”[1] He was also the co-publisher and editor of the Riverdale Press in New York.
Stein and his brother Richard Stein were awarded the Eugene S. Pulliam First Amendment Award by the Society of Professional Journalists for courage in continuing to publish following the 1989 firebombing of The Riverdale Press office in retaliation for an editorial defending the novelist Salman Rushdie.[2]
He won the Lisa and Richard Witten Award for Excellence in Teaching during his last year at Hunter College.
Personal Life
Bernard L. Stein was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and raised in Riverdale, Bronx, where the Riverdale Press was founded in 1950.
He was the editor of his elementary school newspaper, the PS 81 Livewire, and his high school paper, the Science Survey, at the Bronx High School of Science[3].
Stein earned his Bachelor's degree from Columbia University, then moved to Berkeley, California, but did not finish that degree.
Stein was one of nearly 800 demonstrators arrested during a sit-in at a UC Berkeley administration building during his enrollment in 1964, which became a moment in the Free Speech Movement. He went on to become one of the founders of the Berkeley chapter of Students for a Democratic Society, and to help found an SDS freedom school in the West Oakland ghetto.
To support himself during his time in Berkeley, Stein took a proofreading job for the Mark Twain Papers, the largest archive of Mark Twain’s manuscripts in the world which is housed at UC Berkeley’s Bancroft Library. Instead of staying six months as he planned, he stayed for 12 years, becoming a scholarly editor. He was responsible for establishing definitive editions of Twain’s published and unpublished writing, including letters, notebooks, and the novel, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court.
Stein was also a member of the editorial board of three radical publications: The Movement, a newspaper affiliated with Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and Students for a Democratic Society, and Leviathan and Steps, both short-lived, independent magazines.
