Yes, we know that, technically, we don’t have the authority to award a Pulitzer Prize — even an honorary one — to anybody.
However, we simply could not bear to see the efforts of Luis Ochoa, staff photographer for the Palm Springs Desert Sun, go unrecognized.
In covering the National Bikini Pillow Fighting Championships staged by a local casino, Ochoa brought back a stunning series of images that captured the drama and majesty of this sporting event.
As testament to Ochoa’s achievement, the newspaper’s editors felt compelled to share not one — but 17 — of Ochoa’s newsworthy photos with its readers.
Thank you, Desert Sun. And thank you, Luis Ochoa. Our flagging faith in the news media’s integrity has been fully restored.
