I’m thrilled to tell you that ProPublica, the independent, non-profit newsroom run by my gorgeous husband, MrB (Paul Steiger), has won its first Pulitzer Prize<\/a>!<\/p>\n

The prize-winning story, a collaboration with the New York Times, was a report by ProPublica’s Sheri Fink about a hospital in New Orleans where a doctor and two nurses were accused of hastening patients’ deaths with lethal doses of medication in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.<\/p>\n

The story was originally published in the New York Times Magazine last August. Read it here<\/a>. ProPublica continues to follow the story on its website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is the 17th Pulitzer Prize won by a news organization under MrB’s leadership. The previous 16 prizes were won by the Wall Street Journal, when MrB was managing editor.<\/p>\n

ProPublica was also a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for the reporting Tracy Weber and Charles Ornstein published in the Los Angeles Times on nursing in California<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to Sheri, Tracy, Charles, the rest of the staff and the founders of ProPublica, the staff of the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times and extra-special congratulations to MrB.<\/p>\n
