Pulitzer gold medal goes to small newspaper for domestic violence series

The Post and Courier, a small newspaper from Charleston, South Carolina, won journalism's biggest honor, taking home the Pulitzer Prize gold medal for service journalism for its work on violence against women

The series, "Till Death Do Us Part," brought attention to the state's at-risk female population. The Pulitzer citation called the work "a riveting series that probed why South Carolina is among the deadliest states in the union for women and put the issue of what to do about it on the state’s agenda."

The paper's newsroom erupted in cheers as they watched the announcement.
