It seems like only seven years ago (September, 2005, to be precise) when, in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and the journalism flowing from a hastily set up blog at NOLA.com, Jeff Jarvis and I were blogging about what a pity it was the Pulitzer Prize committee didn’t consider online-only content in awarding prizes.
I thought about that when I learned today, the Pulitzer Prize for national reporting was awarded to the Huffington Post and the Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning was awarded to Politico.
