The 2011 Pulitzer Prize winners have been announced, with LA Times's Barbara Davidson being awarded the Feature Photography prize.

Davidson was awarded the prize for her intimate story of innocent victims trapped in the city's crossfire of deadly gang violence. But first she had to persuade her editors of the relevance of victims’ stories at a time when the violent crime rate was generally in decline. “Even one person being impacted by this is incredibly wrong,”
“The numbers don’t matter. This is not a story about statistics. This is a story about the families that have been altered for the rest of their lives because of these incredibly unjust things that have happened to them.”
