Culture: Random quotes from three Pulitzer winners today

  • one “I don’t always feel comfortable about what I’m doing. It’s the whole ‘industry-versus-citizen’ thing where the industry always wins.”
  • two “Last year it happened three times in one day, the worst day so far in the worst year so far in a phenomenon that gives no sign of abating.”
  • three “Frankly if you kept
    it to a small scale and were satisfied to keep it to a grand a week, I don’t know how you would ever get caught.”

U.S.: A bunch of newspapers won a bunch of Pulitzer Prizes

  • The usual suspects The thing about Pulitzer prizes is that you tend to know who will probably win some – The New York Times, The Washington Post, The St. Petersburg Times and a few other critically-acclaimed big names in journalism. We’re not discounting the journalism. It’s some of the best journalism out there. And if you don’t read these papers online, you’re missing out on some great work. source

  • The highlights Perhaps the biggest nod should go to the Detroit Free Press, whose initial uncovering of Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick’s extramarital affair brought down a sitting mayor. The New York Times also won for bringing down Gov. Eliot Spitzer, and St. Petersburg Times reporter Lane DeGregory wrote a harrowing, must-read story of a neglected child called “The Girl in the Window.” source
