Times-Pic, Sun Herald Win Pulitzer*

12:09 PM, April 17, 2006

The Times-Picayune of New Orleans and the Sun Herald of Biloxi, Miss., have won the Pulitzer Prize for public service with their Hurricane Katrina coverage. The Times-Pic staff also won in the breaking news category. Huzzah!

Update: Also, Todd Heisler of the Rocky Mountain News won the feature photography prize for his Final Salute story (download a PDF of the 24-page section here or see jpgs of the pages here), and the Dallas Morning News staff won the breaking news photography prize for their Hurricane Katrina coverage.

Heads up: After you hit "post" things may be slow and you may get an error. Most likely, your comment did post. Apologies. I'm looking for a fix.

The final salute story is good :)

Final Salute is not just a good story. It's very, very good story with some of the more important photos I've seen in the past couple of years of war coverage. Heisler's work is remarkable.

Mark, it appears the PDF pages for the Final Salute section are out of order. Didn't stop me from enjoying this moving story. The photos are gorgeous and displayed wonderfully.

Josh,

They sure are. Hey, if anyone out there from the Rocky is reading this, you might want to look into that!

Yikes! Thanks for the heads up on the PDF for Final Salute. Our web guys are on it now.

Meanwhile, the invisible credit -- beyond Todd and Jim -- goes to Steve Miller, who designed the section; John Moore, who copy edited and Tim Burroughs who slotted, along with a cast of others. Like all we do, this was teamwork.

After seeing it dozens of times, I still can't read the story without tearing up.

P.S.
It's a little easier to see the pages on newspagedesigner.com under Staff/RockyMountain News.

Kathy,

Results! Thanks! And I've added a link to the NPD images of the pages.

Indeed - very proud. From Sun Publications to Sun God. Hoo Rah!
