[Grimace]

I was hoping you wouldn't embarass me by publishing my name here, but, what can I say. I humbly accept all the awards that were given to me today for that work that I did for that newspaper and/or on that book/symphony.

 

[lohengrin]

Anybody hear who won the shuffleboard tournament on the Titanic?

 

[Del_B_Vista]

Congrats to all the winners.

 

[Frank_Ridgeway]

Julie Cart, who won half of the LAT's Pulitzer, used to be a sports writer there.

 

[I Should Coco]

JOURNALISM:

Local Reporting -
Detroit Free Press Staff
and
Ryan Gabrielson and Paul Giblin of the East Valley Tribune, Mesa, AZ

Congrats to the reporters/editors/photogs/etc... at both of these papers. Unfortunately, the great local reporting didn't prevent both papers from abandoning the print edition several days out of the seven-day week.

 

[FreddiePatek]

Lane DeGregory! Yes!

 

[GBNF]

Holy ****, my cousin, Ali Berzon, won the Pulitzer for Public Service.
And here I thought I was the writer in the family.

 

[slappy4428]

Admit it. You all looked at the list to see if any winners were for papers who have or are about to fold.

 

[PeteyPirate]

Who won for public service Tweeting?

 

[DanOregon]

Congrats to the winners.
Found it kind of odd there were no prizes awarded for the election or the financial meltdown, instead the big winners were for sex. How sad.

 

[Fenian_Bastard]

Meacham.
Oy.

 

[DanOregon]

So who's the best journo never to have won a Pulitzer?

Adding a congrats to the guys at the Trib. They put together some really telling stuff, not just on the knee-jerk hostility to what our fine "America's Toughest Sheriff" is doing, but about the waste involved and how it's making the daily operations of the sheriff's department suffer.

Very sad what's happened to that paper, but it's a lovely (and frustrating) grace note for their final year as a daily.

 

[Joe Williams]

Won't be long before the New York Times, the Washington Post and the WSJ get to win all the Pulitzers every year.

 

[SoCalDude]

Julie Cart, who won half of the LAT's Pulitzer, used to be a sports writer there.

I'm glad Julie found her niche. Congrats to her.
Journalist Bill put her on hockey. It was a disaster.

 

[Bullwinkle]

Hey Pulitzer Wannabe, do you have a reason to change your handle yet?

 

[TigerVols]

Meacham.
Oy.

Indeed.

The book's not much of a read, IMO. And Andrew Jackson is one of my political heroes.

As stated before, the Detroit Free Press comes out seven days a week. It is only home-delivered three days a week. The other four days, it is published and sold on newstands and boxes and is available by same-day mail.

My weekend Free comes 2-3 hours later now. And routinely, I cannot find it on the way to work, gas stations, news stands, or boxes are either empty - and have been forever, or are sold out. It sucks.
