First Ever Pulitzer For Non-Print Series

decora writes "Last year ProPublica won the first Pulitzer for an online news site. This year, they have been awarded the first Pulitzer for a series that did not appear in print. The series was Eisinger and Bernstein's 'The Wall Street Money Machine,' which described how hedge funds and financiers profited from the collapse of the economy. ProPublica publishes under a Creative Commons license and hosts a Nerd Blog where they write about journalism-related hacking and publish open source tools they have developed."

The Pulitzer Prize Winning Series

[slashqwerty]

For those who actually want to read the Pulitzer prize winning series, The Wall Street Money Machine is the root. It appears to have four parts:

1. The Magnetar Trade
2. The 'Subsidy'
3. Banks' Self-Dealing Super-Charged Financial Crisis
4. The Timeline of Magnetar's Deals

We already had a Flash cartoon Pulitzer

It's worth noting that Mark Fiore won a Pulitzer for his excellent satirical cartoons last year, and they are only available on-line as Flash animations. He was the first cartoonist to win an editorial cartooning Pulitzer for an entry of entirely online animations.
