The most coveted award in journalism, the Pulitzer Prize, has been awarded to public radio’s long-running series This American Life. The award, announced earlier this week, was for excellence in the new category of Audio Journalism, the first category created by the Pulitzer Board in 20 years.
The Prize was given to staff of This American Life and their collaborators Molly O’Toole of the Los Angeles Times and Emily Green, a freelancer for Vice News.
