Der renommierte Pulitzer-Preis könnte im 2006 zum ersten Mal auch an Journalisten verliehen werden, deren Artikel ausschliesslich online erschienen. Die Blogger bleiben jedoch vorerst ausgeschlossen.

In two categories -- Breaking News Reporting and Breaking News Photography -- an entry consisting entirely of material published online will be permitted. In other categories, an entry may contain online material but it must also contain material published in the newspaper's print edition.

Die BBC steig in die mainstream Weblog-Welt ein mit Nick Robinson's Newslog:



Now I never thought I'd find myself writing this but... My name's Nick Robinson and I am a blogger.If, like me, you're not a trainspotter of all things on the web you might not know what a blogger is and might not much fancy the sound of it. Worry not, it's painless. Please read on, though, because this blogging business is something special.

You see, the funny thing about broadcasting is that you speak to a vast number of people but you all too rarely have a conversation with them - beyond perhaps with someone who asks "Are you that guy on the telly?" or "Why do you wear those ridiculous specs?"

Which is where Newslog - this weblog - comes in. It's a chance for me to add a thought or an observation from my political front row seat. I may also invite you to listen, watch or read something that's particularly interested me. It's a chance too for you to add your thought or pose a question (though preferably not about my choice of glasses).

As well as being a conversation, weblogs can be more personal, which is why the format is finding ever more uses in the mainstream media.
