When The New York Times and The Washington Post topped the list of Pulitzer winners –and finalists, that’s not a shocking news. But when new media publications like the nonprofit ProPublica and the self-syndicated Mark Fiore on Monday announced to be part of the winners, that’s really a big news. At least for new media experts and enthusiasts.
Established by Hungarian-American publisher Joseph Pulitzer and is administered by Columbia University in New York City, the Pulitzer Prize is a U.S. award for achievements in newspaper journalism, literature and musical composition.
