It was quite easy to figure out what the story she worked on what about, as approximately a third of the linked article is devoted to explaining that story and how she contributed to it.

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?

Did they change the link? There are like 5 paragraphs about the story in the article I just read.

Note that the linked story is _about_ the fact that a female philipino undergrad won a Pulitzer, but does not explain much about about the story she reported on that won a Pulitzer

I'm not arguing that she shouldn't have won a Pulitzer for her reporting if her reporting were genuinely worthy of a Pulitzer (it wasn't, but that's another story,) but... srsly?

> Note that the linked story is _about_ the fact that a female philipino undergrad won a Pulitzer

Nowhere in the article is mentioned that she's a philipino.

> but does not explain much about about the story she reported on that won a Pulitzer

   Published in September 2017, the story, “Seven Days of Heroin,” prompted a nationwide conversation about the opioid crisis, reflected in newsrooms around the country.  

Just follow the link to the story and read the first paragraphs.

> I'm not arguing that she shouldn't have won a Pulitzer for her reporting if her reporting were genuinely worthy of a Pulitzer

Who would argue that and expect to be taken seriously?

> (it wasn't, but that's another story,)

Have you even read it?
