Pulitzer Prize for The Wall Street Journal?

The Heritage Foundation | May 29, 2010 

Despite its exceptional success on newsstands and its status as the “most-read newspaper in America,” the Wall Street Journal isn’t receiving the credit – i.e. a Pulitzer Prize – it deserves. “In other words,” writes Heritage Robert Bluey, “the Journal hasn’t been awarded journalism’s most coveted prize since conservative publisher Rupert Murdoch acquired the newspaper.”

The Journal’s readership has grown while other newspapers’, many of them Pulitzer recipients, have lost readers. So what gives? Bluey explains that the 18-member Pulitzer board – 4 of whom have ties to the top five papers — may be biased against Murdoch and his wholesale (and popular) refocus of the paper’s political, national and international news.
