Congrats to most of the NYT writers

David Maraniss

There's another EXTREMELY big SportsJournalists.com member who has pretty much the same resume, of course ...

 

I give up.

 

Did I miss that member being in the Pulitzer listings this year?

The reason they put all the names (NYT and WaPo) was so all said reporters are credited for whatever awards come their way from that fine work. And that's the way it should be.

 

Either that, or they contributed to the report. Like the explanatory tagline suggests.

 

I'm just befuddled to know there are still papers on this continent with 18 or more reporters on staff. What's that like?

 

OK, guess I'm just ignorant. Thanks for the information.

 

no difference, just a larger area to cover with too few reporters.
