Today's Fresh Air on NPR featured a story about this year's Pulitzer Prize winner for investigative reporting.
Philadelphia Daily News reporters Barbara Laker and Wendy Ruderman landed the prize for their 10-month series "Tainted Justice," an expose of alleged corruption among members of an elite narcotics squad on the Philadelphia police force."
The cops would bust the owner of a business on trumped up drug charges, for example, for possessing plastic bags small enough to hold drugs. During the bust, the cops would disable the store's cameras, and once the owner was hauled off, proceed to steal whatever they could.
