North grad part of Pulitzer team

Erika Espinoza, a 2013 Columbus North and 2017 Ball State University journalism graduate, was part of a team that won the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting. 

Espinoza was part of The Arizona Republic and USA Today Network team that created “The Wall,” a 2017 special report about President Trump’s proposed border wall. Espinoza worked on site design for the project while an intern for The Arizona Republic.

She is finishing her first year of graduate school in Ball State’s Emerging Media Design and Development program. Espinoza was a 2013 Lilly Scholar, presented during the spring of her senior year at Columbus North, enabling her to attend college on a four-year, tuition-paid scholarship.
