Web News Declared Eligible for Pulitzer Prizes

The Pulitzer board has expanded its criteria for award-worthy journalism to include Internet-only publications, Editor & Publisher reports today. While Pulitzers will be available to web outlets, sites must be “text-based” and publish original content at least weekly to be considered. The board made changes in an effort to “keep up with the changing media landscape,” Pulitzer administrator Sig Gissler said.
