The Los Angeles Times won the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service on
Monday for a series of articles exposing deadly medical problems and
racial injustice at a major public hospital.
The Southern California newspaper also won a Pulitzer -- U.S.
journalism's top award -- in international reporting for reporter Kim
Murphy's coverage of Russia's struggles with terrorism, its economy and
its political system.
It shared the international reporting prize with Long Island, New
York-based Newsday, whose reporter Dele Olojede was honored for his coverage of Rwanda a decade after
its genocidal slaughter.
The annual Pulitzer Prize winners in Journalism and Letters, Drama and
Music were announced at New York's Columbia University. The awards come as
newsrooms are trying to rebuild public faith after a series of scandals at
such top media outlets as The New York Times and CBS.
"At a time when the news media are often criticized, the newspaper
winners and the finalists are heartening
examples of high quality journalism in all parts of the
United States," said Pulitzer Prize administrator Sig Gissler.
Gissler said there were 1,326 newspaper entries this year, down from
1,423 last year and that three themes had emerged: the war in Iraq, health
and science, and natural disasters.
It was a second year of victory for the Los Angeles Times, which last
year took the most awards, winning five.
This year, The Wall Street Journal also won two Pulitzer Prizes -- one
by reporter Amy Dockser Marcus for beat reporting for her stories about
cancer survivors and the Pulitzer Prize for criticism for its film reviews
by Joe Morgenstern.
The Associated Press staff won for breaking news photography for its
pictures of combat in Iraqi cities, and Deanne Fitzmaurice of the San
Francisco Chronicle won for feature photography for her essay on a local
hospital's efforts to treat a badly injured Iraqi
boy.
