[edit] Career
Throughout Friedman's career, he wrote for the Houston Chronicle, the Detroit Free Press, Newsday, and for Knight Ridder newspapers. He won a 1963 Nieman Fellowship. His work landed him on the master list of Nixon political opponents. Friedman shared a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of the 1967 Detroit riot in the Detroit Free Press. Friedman also taught national and foreign affairs reporting at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism for a year. In 1985, Friedman and his family moved to Edgewater, Maryland, where Friedman worked as a White House correspondent.[1] Friedman began working for Newsday, but left to spend five months in South Africa teaching journalists. When he returned, Friedman began writing a weekly column for Newsweek called "Gray Matters", which covered issues affecting older people. In October 2009, after working there for over twenty years, Friedman quit Newsday over its decision to charge for its web content.[2] He began publishing his column in November 2009 in Time Goes By, a blog.[3]
