Call me a sticker….

But what about the fact that the Enquirer is a magazine? And the fact that much of their coverage was in 2008? I think that there’s merits to the fact that they spent serious money — not on sources, but on sending a reporter to do lots of on-the-ground-reporting — in a time when most people are reporting from their laptops. And I think a lot of people are happy to stick it to the Pulitzers, which they see as a super clubby, elitist prize awarded by the New York Times to the New York Times. But does that overshadow the very basic requirements for the award: Newspaper reporting in 2009?
