tops in Pulitzer wins Paper takes six, including one for public service Apr 8, 2008 The newspaper industry seems to sag more and more by the day but there's still one day each year to remind journalists and the public of the great public good newspapers can serve. It's when the Pulitzer Prizes are announced. Yesterday was an especially great day for The Washington Post, which was awarded six Pulitzers, a record for the paper, including one exposing the deplorable conditions returning Iraq War veterans were subjected to at Walter Reed hospital in the District of Columbia. The Post also won for national reporting for a series on Vice President Dick Cheney and the power he wields behind the scenes in Washington. The New York Times won two Pulitzers, one for a timely investigative series by Walt Bogdanich and Jake Hooker on the use of toxic ingredients in goods imported from China. It was Bogdanich's third Pulitzer for investigative journalism, his second at the Times. The Pulitzers are administered by the journalism school at Columbia University and are considered the most esteemed of all journalism awards. Other winners included Investor’s Business Daily, The Chicago Tribune, The Boston Globe, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and The Concord Monitor in New Hampshire, along with Reuters, the news service.
