Los Angeles Times Wins 5 Pulitzer Prizes:
The Los Angeles Times won five Pulitzer Prizes yesterday, dominating this year's competition with writing that included editorials, automobile reviews and breaking news coverage of the wildfires that devastated Southern California last fall.
The five prizes were the second-highest number of awards won by a newspaper since the awards were first given in 1917. The New York Times won seven in 2002, mostly on the strength of its reporting of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Aside from that unusual year, the most Pulitzer Prizes any paper has won in a single year is three.
Hugh must be so pleased.
Surprisingly, our own beloved Minneapolis Star Tribune was shut out this year, although they did have the appropriately named Steve Sack nominated for his editorial cartoons. Oh well, there's always next year.
