2010 Pulitzer Prizes to WaPo, NYT — Not Enquirer

Washington Post wins four; NYT nabs three

The 2010 Pulitzer Prizes were announced on Monday, and the Washington Post was the big winner, snagging four Pulitzers for international and feature reporting, commentary and criticism.

The New York Times won two (explanatory and national reporting) and shared a third for investigative reporting (with the Philadelphia Daily News) for its collaboration with ProPublica.

The National Enquirer — subject of debate over an entry the tabloid submitted for its coverage of John Edwards’ extramarital affair — was shut out.
