NEW YORK (AP) — The Pulitzer Prizes, considered the premier award for print journalists, are opening eligibility to broadcast and audio companies that also offer digital news sites.
But the work these companies can submit for prize consideration must primarily be written journalism, the Columbia University-based Pulitzer Prize Board said on Monday.
Broadcast news outlets were historically prohibited from entering work in the Pulitzer competition because they produced little text-based journalism.
Other competitions, like the Emmys and the duPont-Columbia Awards, honor broadcast journalism.
“Although video may be part of the entry, these are not awards for broadcast journalism,” she said.
