Oil-For-Food investigative journalist Claudia Rosett has been nominated for a Pulitzer. And deservedly so.
“Rosett’s …dogged pursuit of the oil-for-food-for-dictators scandals at the United Nations pushed that story in all of its mind-numbing complexity into the media mainstream, where it has done more to set in motion long overdue oversight of the United Nations than all of the previous blue ribbon reports and congressional hearings combined…Whether or not the Pulitzer committee recognizes Rosett for her incredible contribution to freedom through her superb journalism over the past few years, those who follow the media know she is the standard setter.” – Hugh Hewitt, Weekly Standard
