You might have heard: The Pulitzer Prizes were announced on Monday afternoon, with The Washington Post, New York Times and Wall Street Journal all taking home awards (The Pulitzer Prizes)
But did you know: Daily Breeze, a local newspaper in Torrance, Calif., with a circulation of 63,000 and a staff of seven local news reporters, won a Pulitzer Prize in local reporting for its reporting on widespread corruption in Centinela Valley Union High School District. The investigation was made up of more than 50 articles and led to the removal of the district superintendent and the creation of new state legislation to prevent excessive compensation. In its citation, the Pulitzer Prizes commended the Daily Breeze’s “impressive use of the paper’s website.”
