Concordia Grad Takes Home Pulitzer

A Concordia grad snapped up her second Pulitzer prize yesterday. Barbara Davidson won the feature news photography award for her photographs of LA gang violence.

Davidson works for the Los Angeles Times and was born in Montreal. She graduated from Concordia with a degree in photography and film studies. In the past, she covered events in Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, and more.

She won her first Pulitzer with other members of the LA Times in 2006 for photographs of Hurricane Katrina.

The New York Times and The Washington Post also received Pulitzers. The Times won awards in international reporting and commentary, while the Post won for breaking news photography.
