Pulitzer Prizes Show Strength of Big Journalism

Apr 06, 2004
The Pulitizers are announced and Dan Gillmor points to the winners - all from major newspapers - as evidence that traditional journalism is better than blogs, asking whether readers think bloggers "could pull off" the sort of work demonstrated by the winners. I don't know. But the Pulitizers don't answer the question. I don't really think that pointing to the winners of a competition that requires that the entries be published in a newspaper constitutes any sort of evidence that non-published content, as in blogs, is of lower quality. When bloggers (and Canadians) are eligible for the Pulitizers, then we'll talk.
