Online content now eligible for Pulitzer Prize

The Board stated that submissions “should come from United States newspapers or news organizations that publish at least weekly, that are ‘primarily dedicated to original news reporting and coverage of ongoing stories,” and that “adhere to the highest journalistic principles.’”
