- vsundar 9y ago> Reveal won a Pulitzer Prize in this year.... Turns out they were a finalist not the winners. The difference is here: http://www.pulitzer.org/page/frequently-asked-questions http://www.pulitzer.org/page/frequently-asked-questions (no. 23). 3 finalists are chosen by that category jury from the submissions and one winner is picked by the board from that. Good info though. Thanks.

Reveal was also a finalist in 2013 (back when it was named California Watch) for the award in public service (generally considered the most prestigious of the Pulitzers): http://www.pulitzer.org/finalists/california-watch http://www.pulitzer.org/finalists/california-watch
