It looks like J. Freedom du Lac’s Alternating Year Law regarding Pulitzer Prizes for the Washington Post will hold: the newspaper pulled in only one Pulitzer this year — the award for Breaking News Photography went to Carol Guzy, Nikki Kahn and Ricky Carioti for their work in Haiti after the earthquake which devastated that nation. Congratulations to the trio — Guzy, Kahn and Carioti truly produced some incredibly relentless, moving work.
The complete list of 2011 winners can be found here. Last year, the Post snagged four awards for International Reporting, Feature Writing, Commentary, and Criticism.
