A 2001 Pulitzer Prize Winner in National Reporting and finalist for the National Magazine Award, she spent 15 years at ''The New York Times'', including time as a Washington correspondent and as an investigative reporter whose stories revealed Washington’s secret, sometimes tragic, role in Mexico’s fight against drug traffickers.
