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.

本周一(4月4日),在2005年普利策新聞獎的評選中,《洛杉磯時報》憑借揭露一所大型公立醫院存在的致命醫療問題和種族歧視的系列報道而獲得分量很重的“公共服務獎”。
這份南加州出版的報紙(《洛杉磯時報》)還獲得了普利策新聞獎中的“國際新聞報道獎”,普利策新聞獎是美國新聞界的最高獎項。《洛杉磯時報》記者金姆·墨菲憑借有關俄羅斯在反恐和經濟政治體制改革方面的報道獲得了該獎項。
該報與總部位于紐約長島的《新聞日報》分享了“國際報道獎”,《新聞日報》記者德勒·歐洛杰迪由于報道了盧旺達種族大屠殺十年后的情況而獲獎。
每年的普利策獎新聞獎和文學藝術獎都在紐約哥倫比亞大學頒發。今年,紐約時報和哥倫比亞廣播公司等頂級新聞傳媒相繼傳出丑聞,此次普利策獎的頒發時值各大新聞媒體試圖重建公眾的信任。
普利策獎評獎委員會負責人希格·吉斯勒說:“在新聞媒體廣受批評和指責時,這些獲獎和參加終評的報紙都是美國高質量新聞報道鼓舞人心的例子。”
吉斯勒說,今年有1326家報紙參加了角逐,與去年的1423家相比有所下降。在參加本次評選的新聞報道中,有3個主題脫穎而出,它們是伊拉克戰爭,健康與科學以及自然災害。
今年,《洛杉磯時報》連續第二年獲得大豐收。去年它獨攬5項大獎,成為普利策獎的大贏家。
《華爾街日報》今年也奪得了兩項普利策獎。記者艾米·道克斯爾·馬庫斯關于癌癥幸存者的報道獲得了“獨家報道獎”;喬·摩根斯坦的影評獲得了“批評報道獎”。
美聯社記者在伊拉克城市拍攝的戰爭照片榮獲了“突發新聞攝影獎”。《舊金山紀事報》記者迪恩·菲茨莫里斯獲得“特寫攝影獎”,她在隨筆中講述了當地醫院竭力治療一名傷情嚴重的伊拉克男孩的故事。
