Wildfire once again is ravaging California. This spring, the Santa Rosa Press Democrat won a Pulitzer for its coverage of the Tubbs fire, which consumed the homes of 5,000 people. Executive Editor Catherine Barnett describes how the paper marshaled its resources to keep its community informed.
The Pulitzer Prizes welcome submissions in all 14 Journalism categories — including the newly expanded Breaking News category. For the second year, magazines are eligible in all Prize categories.
Distinguished examples of local, state or national breaking news produced by any eligible news organization — magazines, newspapers or online news organizations — can submit stories now for the 2018 prizes in Journalism.
Watch a live stream of Pulitzer Prize Administrator Mike Pride announcing the 2017 Pulitzer Prizes on April 10, 2017 at 3 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
