Pilger has spent more than 50 years reporting as a foreign correspondent and has been at the front line of some of the most ground-breaking events in history.
He opened the Lincoln School of Journalism in 2004 and was awarded an Honorary Doctorate by the university in 2008. Staff believe this will strengthen Pilger’s ties with the journalism school.
LSJ News Reporter Matt Weeks spoke to Professor John Tulloch about plans to bring a new learning resource to the University of Lincoln.
