Here, each hole starts on Wednesdays and this is what fell through this past week, in more than one way or day:
On Wednesday, April 9, the Pulitzer Board had dinner at Peter Lugers, the famed German steak house in Brooklyn and worked on finalizing the winners.
On Thursday, April 10, the Board realized that none of its members reads the Rolling Stone Magazine, and they felt much better, because they were not going to award anything to that musical hybrid known for excellent political reporting.
Friday, April 11, the Board met again, this time in Manhattan and watched the Edward Snowden’s saga coverage on YouTube. It was news to them.
On Saturday, April 12, the Boston Globe received a call that despite the confusing reporting surrounding the Boston Marathon bombing, they would receive the Pulitzer Prize for the most coherent confusing reporting of a marathon bombing. Everything else was much worse.
On Sunday, April 13, the Pulitzer Board realized that the New York Times, would win nothing this year so they discovered that there was no horror pictures award. They quickly made up one and gave it to the Times.
The award would go to Tyler Hicks of the Times, for his photos of a terrorist attack on a shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya, and to Josh Hanes, for his photos of a Boston Marathon bombing victim who lost most of both legs in the attack.
On Monday, April 14, the Pulitzer Board finally announced the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service was awarded to The Guardian US and The Washington Post for their reporting on Edward Snowden’s revelations about the National Security Agency’s domestic surveillance practices.
On Tuesday, April 15, 2014, the NSA revealed that whatever The Guardian US published was really only the sanitized version of the US reality show: the NSA X-rays all US residents each time they selfie themselves. The revelation created problems with the Pulitzer Board:
Was that news reporting or just news?!

I liked this –The BG would receive the Pulitzer Prize for the most coherent confusing reporting of a marathon bombing. Touche
Yeah, but what about this one?
…they discovered that there was no horror pictures award. They quickly made up one and gave it to the Times.
No, this one is best:
watched the Edward Snowden’s saga coverage on YouTube. It was news to them.
a question: Is the alternate spelling of “journalism” a specific reference?
just a lack of editing…thanks for pointing it out.
Nice round-up today.
