NY Times dominates 2009 Pulitzer Prize contest
The New York Times dominated the Pulitzer Prizes
announced on Monday, winning five of the coveted awards for
investigative, breaking news and international reporting, feature
photography and criticism. The Las Vegas Sun won the most prestigious Public Service Prize for
reporting on the high death rate among construction workers on the Las
Vegas strip, according to the board of the Pulitzer Prizes in
Journalism, Letters, Drama and Music. Newspapers are suffering badly in the recession, with massive job
losses, elimination of sections and cancellation of home delivery. A few
have ceased publication, slashed salaries and filed for bankruptcy.
None of the prizes went to stories about the economy or the financial
crisis. This marked the first year that entries from news organizations that
publish entirely on the Internet could compete in the journalism
categories. Despite the growth of online journalism, there were no online winners
and only Politico.com, a largely online outlet, was a finalist in
editorial cartooning. Details of the awards are at www.pulitzer.org (Reuters)
