I'm sure how familiar you are with the categories, but really, criticism?
None of those are really suitable nor would her blog piece be competitive in a category that would only be potentially suitable. And in my opinion it certainly doesn't deserve a pulitzer in investigative journalism.
I think it would be cool to a new category for something like this that better captures the intent of the piece.
- chaostheory 9y agoWhy isn't Fowler's piece considered criticism?
- Paul-ish 9y agoLooking at the prize awardees for criticism, the award is for art criticism. So it wouldn't apply to Fowler's writing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulitzer_Prize_for_Criticism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulitzer_Prize_for_Criticism
- chaostheory 9y agoOk, does it not apply to commentary or any other Pulitzer prize category?
