Jon Carroll in conversation with Catherine Caufield
Jon Carroll is the current winner of the Ernie Pyle Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Society of Newspaper Columnists.

Prior to this career, Carroll was an award-winning editor at publications including Rolling Stone, The Village Voice, and New West Magazine. On the internet, he is known for starting the Unitarian Jihad movement.
