2010 PULITZER PRIZE WINNERS include: coverage of the shooting death of four police officers in a coffee shop which won the breaking news award for the staff of The Seattle Times.
The Washington Post won four Pulitzer Prizes for its work in 2009, and The New York Times won three, while ProPublica became the first of the new breed of online, non-profit news organizations to win the most prestigious award in print journalism. And for a distinguished volume of original verse by an American author, the Poetry Award went to “Versed,” by Rae Armantrout, a book striking for its wit and linguistic inventiveness, offering poems that are often little thought-bombs detonating in the mind long after the first reading.
