Her exit was announced in Las Vegas. The Pulitzer judges made a point of Berson's "courageous reporting" on the series. Her mother, Marsha S. Berzon, is a justice on the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Out bound transition: God Blog blogger Brad Greenberg is leaving full-time journalism at the Jewish Journal for UCLA Law School.

He will continue to write The God Blog.
