Houston Chronicle’s Falkenberg wins 2015 Pulitzer Prize
Houston Chronicle columnist, Lisa Falkenberg, won the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for Commentary for her impassioned columns on the Alfred Dewayne Brown case and other columns on important social issues including immigration, and voting rights. The Pulitzer board said it honored Falkenberg for “vividly-written, groundbreaking columns about grand jury abuses that led to a wrongful conviction and other egregious problems in the legal and immigration systems.” The Pulitzer is the first in the Houston Chronicle’s 114 year history.
