Oh plz... just as Obama was given the Nobel peace prize before becoming President (and killing a lot of people by bombing them once he was President.) Did we just award the Pulitzer to an undergrad? OK- but let's not pretend that the Pulitzer matters.
I think your point is that awards are overrated.
Interestingly it is very difficult to figure out what the story she reported on is about given all the hoopla around a Latina winning the Pulitzer.

Is swearing, especially saying "fuck you", usual way to congratulate someone in US?

Yes, She had the idea to create the database out of unstructured paper arrest slips which gave coverage and statistical credibility to the effort. Key in the entire operation.
Exactly this. She deserves the attention she's getting. And she did the grunt work daily, which is important to call out. Reminds me of the ChicagoCrime.org feet-on-street data wrangling story. A great idea and the persistence to follow through.

Had you actually read the article, you would have seen that: > From there, she took it upon herself to create a database for Enquirer reporters, documenting the time, location, and nature of every opioid-related arrest that occured over those days. The article also says that because of that database they were able to fill gaps in the article and make it as compelling as it was.
She seems worthy of being added to the byline, but I don't think its right for you to be so dismissive of OP's point. GP wrote a statement that sounds like "interns should be added to the byline for pulitzer prizes." The way its written sounds like a general statement. In reality, I'm not sure this is a reasonable expectation (as in, the word "should" seems inappropriate.) We should consider what makes someones work…
The reality that Duranty denied was comparable to the holocaust. Hundreds of thousands, maybe millions, of people died and the Times apologized for it.
That story was absolutely amazing. The most shocking part of it to me was that there is an organized effort to ban cops from carrying Naxalone, because some people actually believe that heroin addicts deserve to die... We live in a sick world...
In general there is an argument against which is - it's better suited to medical professionals. Which is far from "because heroin addicts deserve to die"
At best a we don't care argument.

Is there any gender/race stuff here? The linked story doesn't bring her race up at all, and only mentions her gender to the extent that it uses pronouns. I went and did a quick google news search, and didn't see any discussion of it in those terms, though I'll certainly admit I might have missed it.
For that matter, in this comments section, you're the only one who brought either of those things up. What's up with that?
