Pulitzer Board Allows Online Journalism in All Entries
The Pulitzer Prize Board announced today that newspapers may submit online material as well as print content in all 14 of its journalism categories, starting with the 2006 competition.
In two categories — Breaking News Reporting and Breaking News Photography — an entry consisting entirely of material published online will be permitted. In other categories, an entry may contain online material but it must also contain material published in the newspaper’s print edition.
Anyone who has read Gates of Fire by Michael Yon undertsands this was a smart move by the Pulitzer committee.
Also this week, Michael’s photography is being featured on Time.com.

Great news! Who knows? Maybe you will get a breaking story while you’re walking down the street, whip out your camera phone, and voila! lol.
I’m going to try to find what you are doing tomorrow, and I will write about it. Have you given any consideration to my suggestion of letting us (bloggers you know) know with an e-mail who you are going to have as a guest?
I’ve noticed many people do not read the web during the weekend, so I think maybe Thursday is a good day to get the news out.

Uh…I cannot find who you are having as a guest. Are you having one? Is this free for all? Just Gregg, you, and the listeners? Hey, that doesn’t sound so bad!

Hi Rosemary,
Sorry about the late notification. Tonight its just Gregg and I, discussing this post as well as Joe Lieberman. Is he indicative of a silent majority among Dems, or is he truly a voice in the wilderness.
Thanks.
