The Boston Globe won a 2021 Pulitzer Prize for a series of stories that uncovered the deadly consequences of the failure by states across the country to track and keep dangerous drivers off the road. The Globe’s “Blind Spot” investigation, published over two days in August 2020, also revealed lax oversight by federal trucking regulators that also endangered lives.
The Pulitzer Prizes recognize some of the year's most important journalism. This year, someone who isn't a professional journalist, but whose actions had as much impact as any, is among those being honored.
