For the first time a website has won a Pulitzer Prize. The site is ProPublica ( LINK ) for an article about Hurricane Katrina. What is new is the first time a non-profit public service only online.
Among other awards, the signature Shadid of the Washington Post took home an award for reporting on the war in Iraq, Moss of the New York Times won with an investigation into the tainted meat. Still Richtel, always New York Times won for an investigation on the danger of driving the car phone, while the entire staff of the Seattle Times for your attention On the killing of four policemen in a bar in Seattle.
What strikes the eye of an Italian reader like me, is that these are all articles on topics very close to the people. Vere investigations that link the lens to the problems of people. In Italy it would be difficult to find such a prestigious journalism award so. Journalism, in our country, wants to say all too often political news story or talk about football.
