About David Barstow
David Barstow joined The New York Times in 1999. He covered the presidential election in 2000, wrote extensively about financial aid for the victims of 9/11, served as chief of The Times’ Brooklyn Bureau, and joined the newsroom’s investigative unit in 2002. His reporting on workplace safety in America won the Pulitzer Prize for public service in 2004.
Recently, Mr. Barstow published an exposé on the use of bribery in Wal-Mart’s operations in Mexico. The response to his article was astounding – Wal-Mart’s stock dropped, editorial pieces are still being written on the subject, and the Mexican government was left with only one option: to investigate the well-founded allegations of corruption.
