Pulitzer nomination

The paper ran a misleading headline suggesting it was a Pulitzer nominee in 1998. But according to the Pulitzer website, the paper was neither a winner nor a nominated finalist in 1998. Unlike some other contests, anyone can enter the Pulitzer Prizes. The Pulitzers uses the term "nominee" to mean a finalist - since they are nominated by one of the Pulitzer committees. "Since 1980, when we began to announce nominated finalists, we have used the term "nominee" for entrants who became finalists. We discourage someone saying he or she was "nominated" for a Pulitzer simply because an entry was sent to us." It would be fair, however, to point out that the paper won praise for its investigative series.
