Columbia Journalism School has announced that Alfonsi and Pelley will serve as Journalists in Residence for the upcoming academic year. The appointments, following a high-profile shake-up at 60 Minutes, will have the pair mentoring students, lecturing and contributing to the Columbia Journalism Review.
