Get your Pultzier Price in blogging
November 29, 2006
But before you sharpen your blogging skills and aim for the stars, beware that the price may be for newspaper blogs only.
New guidelines for the prestigious Pulitzer Prizes allow the submission of blogs. A press release from the Pulitzer Board discusses the widening of the range of online journalism to include blogs and other online content, and states: "The purpose of the new category is to encourage and honour exemplary local journalism, marked by strong reporting across a spectrum of potential subjects... The Pulitzer Prizes have long valued such reporting." However, most of the language on the pulitzer.org site and in the PDF talks about newspapers so there may be a bias towards newspaper blogs, and there is no specific award offered for blogs.
