And in media news, winners of this year Pulitzer Prize for journalism were announced on Monday. The investigative website ProPublica became the first online news outlet to receive a Pulitzer. Investigative reporter Sheri Fink won for a lengthy article on allegations doctors at a New Orleans hospital euthanized patients in the days after Hurricane Katrina. Fink discussed her story on Democracy Now! last year.

Sheri Fink: “All we know is that Dr. [Anna] Pou was seen going into this patient’s room with medications, saying, 'I’m going to tell him I’m going to give him something for his dizziness.' And later, during the investigation, he had died, and they found these drugs, morphine and midazolam. These two drugs that were found in many of the patients were found in him. So it’s hard to know exactly what happened there.”
