The Columbia University of New York, administrators of the Pulitzer Prize, announced "no award" in the categories of Fiction and Editorial Writing for 2012. This is the first time since 1977 that no one has been awarded a Pulitzer for Fiction.
The Huffington Post and Politico, online news portals, won the prestigious categories for national news reporting (US) and editorial cartooning respectively, breaking into what had long been considered as prerogatives of the American legacy broadsheets. Considering that online-only news sources were only included in 2009 for consideration, this reaffirms the realignment of the media landscape in the US and the rest of the world.
Journalists and writers representing newspaper majors like The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Boston Globe and newswire services like AP and AFP were among the usual suspects who lapped up the various categories of 2012 Pulitzer Prize winners in journalism.
