Hey Gil,
I read your post about the Pulitzer's decision to open the prize up to online-only news outlets. I got a chance the other day to speak to Pulitzer administrator Sig Gissler for a PBS article in an attempt to nail down which online news outlets would qualify. I also spoke to the editors of Salon, Slate and ProPublica to gauge their reaction to the news (Salon editor Joan Walsh called the Pulitzer board "prissy"):

Anyway, I thought this was something you and your readers would find interesting.
Take care,
Simon
Thank you, Simon.
