From April 13th
The Pulitzer Board awarded prizes to a variety of writers and publications. It's good to see that the Pulitzer isn't dominated by by just one or two companies. While the Times and the Washington Post did combine for seven award, many small papers from around the country still won awards. What I found more interesting than the broad range of newspapers that won awards is the wide array of topics that are awarded prizes.
The Pulitzer Board gives out an award for music? Aren't their enough music awards, ranging from the Grammy's to the Country Music Awards? I feel like everyone gives out awards for music, why does their have to be a Pulitzer for that? Also, why are their three different awards for investigative reporting? I know investigative reports are arguably the most intriguing articles and toughest to pull off but three awards?
The last thing I found interesting was how internet based news agencies were winning awards. Not one, but two. This is a huge step in multimedia journalism and shows the trend towards how people get their news, and comics apparently.
