This reminds me of one of my favorite stories.
Mariel Padilla who was a student won a Pulitzer for her help in creating a database as an intern that was essential in keeping track of the 24/7 opioid crisis reporting that the Cincinnati Enquirer was doing.

- Dangeranger 8y agoAs I remember she heard about winning the award during a journalism class. Quite a nice story, and she did outstanding work.
- catacombs 8y agoShe was part of a team that won the Pulitzer. She didn't win one herself.
- wallflower 8y agoI think of winning a Pulitzer in the non-individual categories like a film winning an Oscar in the non-individual categories. It is a grand achievement that was made possible by the efforts of many. A non-individual award at the Pulitzer level is still a remarkable achievement.
