June 11, 2021, ST. PETERSBURG, Florida, USA: Cardboard replicas of the Joseph Pulitzer Medal hang from trees where Tampa Bay Times reporters Kathleen McGrory and Neil Bedi attend a reception at the Poynter Institute for Media Studies in St. Petersburg on Friday, June 11, 2021, after McGrory and Bedi won the Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting for their groundbreaking series about a Pasco County law enforcement initiative that harassed local residents. This is the 13th Pulitzer Prize awarded to the Times. The winners in journalism, books, drama and music were announced virtually at Columbia University in New York on Friday. McGrory and Bedi’s series exposed a Sheriff’s Office initiative in Pasco County that uses computer modeling to identify people believed to be future crime suspects. About 1,000 people were monitored under the program, including children. This marks the third time that the Times has won the Pulitzer Prize in the Local Reporting category, the only American news organization to do so since the category was introduced 15 years ago.
