Willy Week>New York Times

So Portland's own indistinguished weekly rag won itself a Pulitzer, making it only the 3rd weekly paper to do so. Maybe PDX is inching up from its second tier city status. . . or maybe not.

Copied from the Pulitzer website - I'd link to it, but they use frames:

For a distinguished example of investigative reporting by an individual or team, presented as a single article or series, Ten thousand dollars ($10,000).

Awarded to Nigel Jaquiss of Willamette Week, Portland, Ore., for his investigation exposing a former governor’s long concealed sexual misconduct with a 14-year-old girl.

Also nominated as finalists in this category were: Diana B. Henriques of The New York Times for her revelations that thousands of vulnerable American soldiers were exploited by some insurance companies, investment firms and lenders, and Clark Kauffman of The Des Moines Register for his exposure of glaring injustice in the handling of traffic tickets by public officials.

E has had major love for this Nigel character for quite a while. They e-mail. She adores him. I hope she's happy to see the establishment second her opinion.
