Pulitzers Go Online
The Pulitzer Prizes were announced yesterday. For the first time, Pulitzers were awarded to newspapers with online components.
Five papers won Pulitzers for online coverage – most notably, the New Orleans Times-Picayune, which won for its Hurricane Katrina coverage when the newspaper’s printing presses were under water.
Pulp still rules the Pulitzers, but in the first year that online content was considered, five prizes were awarded.
As more newspapers awake to the notion that there is more potential in online news offerings than ink and paper, we will see a day when there will be more Pulitzers awarded for online work than for offline work. Soon.
