Today, the L.A. Times won a Pulitzer Prize for our investigation into Dr. George Tyndall, the University of Southern California gynecologist now accused of sexually abusing hundreds of students.
The Times' Harriet Ryan, Matt Hamilton and Paul Pringle have been awarded the Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting.
The newspaper’s staff had gathered in the center of its seventh floor newsroom in El Segundo a few minutes before Columbia University announced the winners of the 2019 Pulitzer Prizes. When Ryan, Hamilton and Pringle’s award was announced, the staff erupted in loud and sustained applause. "The award recognizes an extraordinary piece of journalism that continues the Los Angeles Times' commitment to public service journalism and stories that have real impact on the lives of our readers," said Norman Pearlstine, The Times' executive editor. “Through all of the turmoil, over so many years, there was a group of people who remained committed to the Los Angeles Times and committed to creating great journalism that served the public interest.
Ryan received an anonymous tip in early February 2018 that launched the reporting on the series. The caller refused to provide a name or specific details. Intrigued, Ryan and Hamilton began searching public records for information that might identify Tyndall as a problem doctor. They found nothing. They compiled a list of current and former clinic employees and, along with Pringle, started knocking on doors and asking questions.
Ryan, Hamilton and Pringle spent months documenting how complaints about Tyndall began in the 1990s, when co-workers alleged that he was improperly photographing students’ genitals during medical exams. Over the years, patients and nursing staff repeatedly accused him of “creepy” behavior, including touching women inappropriately during pelvic exams and making sexually suggestive remarks about their bodies.
