LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Former Los Angeles Times film critic Justin Chang won the Pulitzer Prize for criticism Monday. Chang left the paper in January to become the film critic for New Yorker magazine. "The only job I ever wanted was to be a film critic," Chang, 41, told The Times Monday. "Justin dives deep into his ideas with a rigor that's not only rare, but singular," Times Film Editor Joshua Rothkopf, who edited most of Chang's columns, told the paper. And I'm so grateful to The Times because they've just always let me explore that spectrum to the fullest."
