[edit] Old Fashioned Print Media Only
Is it appropriate to mention anywhere that there is no prize for online reporting or commentary? In fact it is only possible to get a journalism prize for work that is published in a PRINTED daily/weekly US NEWSPAPER. I found that sort of amazing. I suppose there is no Pulitzer for radio or TV reporting either, but for some reason that doesn't bother me.
Online material is now accepted as part of any journalism entry.
Also, the beat category was dropped this year and replaced with local reporting.
[edit] Is it necessary or wise?
Is it necessary or wise to continually update the individual awards articles when that information is available on the Pulitzer site ([1])? The Photojournalism article lists relevant categories, but links to the Awards site for winners. That seems to me like a better way to go.

- We list the winners of the Grammy Awards. It also allows us to link to the respective winners. I can't see how it hurts. Ambivalenthysteria 23:57, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)
[edit] The following is misleading
The following is misleading:
"There are two other humanities categories that have been added:
* Drama * Music"
This implies that the drama prize is recent or added sometime after establishment of the prizes. According to pulitzer.org, the drama prize was specified in Joseph Pulitzer's 1904 will. While the music, poetry and photography awards were added at a later date, the drama prize was in the original set. This article makes the drama award seem like an afterthought.

[edit] Oliver La Farge
I just wrote a stub on Oliver La Farge, who won the 1930 Pulitzer Prize, should this be linked to somehow? thanks Martin - The non-blue non-moose 21:30, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
- I added the category of "Pulitzer Prize winners" to La Farge's article.--BillFlis 12:41, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Yearly articles need real introductions
I just created an introduction to the 1975 Pulitzer Prize article, based significantly on contemporary reporting by The New York Times. I'd like to encourage other editors to do the same for other years. You might find it handy to do a site-specific search of the nytimes.com website, as in the search I did to find most of the details I added to the 1975 intro. 66.167.253.209 13:39, 28 September 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Independent Board
The intro says that the prize is awarded by an "independent board". Who is that? Who is on it? Are they affiliated with Columbia? It's somethign for someone to figure out. Zweifel 01:24, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
