Celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month: George Ramos, three-time Pulitzer Prize winner


George Ramos, born October 1, 1947, won the Pulitzer Prize three times.  He participated in a 27-part newspaper series in the Los Angeles Times, Latinos, which focused on southern California's Latino community and culture of the early 1980s.  He was among a Mexican-American team of two editors and eleven reporters and photographers.  They won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for the series.

Ramos won his second Pulitzer in 1993 for his on-the-spot reporting of the Rodney King riots.  His third Pulitzer for reporting of the Northridge earthquake.  

In 2007, he was inducted into the National Association of Hispanic Journalists Hall of Fame.
