Loretta Tofani wins Michael Kelly Award
I worked for a year without pay on the reporting that led to "American Imports, Chinese Deaths." I couldn't have done it without $14,000 in travel support from the Pulitzer Center. This project was also made possible by Pulitzer Center director Jon Sawyer's moral support and encouragement, from start to finish. - Loretta Tofani
