Tribune Skunked in Pulitzers

The Washington Post won four, the New York Times won three, even the Rocky Mountain News won two, but the Chicago Tribune took home no Pulitzer Prizes this year. Neither did any of the other newspapers owned by the Tribune, including the Los Angeles Times, which once upon a time was a perennial Pulitzer winner. Moments like this make you wonder about the cost of the Tribune strategy of optimizing market advantage at the expense of journalistic integrity.
