Columnists, indeed journalists and all of America, lost a strong voice with the death on Feb. 10 of Jeffrey Zaslow, best-selling author and “Moving On” columnist of The Wall Street Journal. The National Society of Newspaper Columnists Education Foundation now honors Zaslow by naming its scholarship program after him.
Zaslow, who died at 53 in an auto accident in Michigan, was a former board member of the National Society of Newspaper Columnists and addressed its annual conference nearly every year. He was an unflagging NSNC supporter and more than that, made time to encourage columnists, in person, by surprisingly speedy e-mail replies and, endearingly, personalized book inscriptions.
As NSNC President Ben Pollock noted, “Jeff Zaslow was my friend, through the National Society of Newspaper Columnists, itself a builder of friendships among columnists. More importantly, Jeff was a friend to the NSNC, an enthusiastic supporter of the society and its individual members.”
