A Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist

Not to be overly picky about this, but if that description is intended to refer to Carlton Sherwood, it should be noted that his name is apparently not listed in the Pulitzer Prize database archive as a named recipient of the prize. I may be mistaken, but I suspect that the aforementioned prize was awarded in 1980 under the "Public Service" category to the "Gannett News Service for its series on financial contributions to the Pauline Fathers", to which Sherwood contributed (along with John Hanchette and William Schmick).

So, even though Sherwood was evidently one of the authors, the prize was apparently awarded to the newspaper, but not to Sherwood himself personally. A minor technical point, perhaps, but one which may be brought up when Sherwood's work comes under intese scrutiny (which it will), especially given the WorldNetDaily headline of "Pulitzer winner behind Kerry POW film".

So, a more precise description may be that Sherwood was co-author of a Pulitzer Prize-winning series of articles.
