As expected, The Boston Globe won the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for public service for the ‘’courageous, comprehensive coverage of sexual abuse by priests, an effort that pierced secrecy, stirred local, national and international reaction and produced changes in the Roman Catholic Church.”;
As the Pulitzer board justly notes, the coverage has “produced changes in the Roman Catholic Church.”; The coverage has prompted a reaction in the Church, strengthening the actions against perpetrators and, most importantly, expanding outreach to the victims and putting in place programs to assure the safety of our children.
If only for that, the Pulitzer Prize for public service, the gold medal of the Pulitzers, would have been deserved.
