 The Pulitzer Prize board announced today that more online content would be allowed to be submitted for next year’s awards, given out for content produced in 2005.
The public service category has allowed online content since 1999, but now the other 13 journalism categories will allow online content, too. There are some weird restrictions, and it has to come from a newspaper’s website — before you go all wacky “blogs get no respect,” remember that these are newspaper awards — but this is a good move all around.
In other Pulitzer news, they’ve also changed the guidelines for the feature writing category guidelines from “prime consideration to high literary quality and originality” to “prime consideration to quality of writing, originality and concision.” Which is good, of course, because there are too many overwritten features, and shorter is almost always better.
But it’s also good because, well, short and online? Hey, that’s my blog! (Except for these essays.) And so I’d like to nominate this entry about tax reform and puppies. All I need them to do is change the description to “prime consideration to snarkiness and cuteness” and I’m set.
