Category talk:Pulitzer Prize winners for journalism

Coverage

See primarily Category talk:Pulitzer Prize winners#Coverage.

There are now 89 pages in this category, the one intermediate subcategory of Pulitzer Prize winners. Those are many more than a week ago because I moved from that main category about 60 pages down into its subcategories, both this general subcat and many particular subcats: namely, all the biographies of people who didn't receive a Special PPrize in Arts or in Letters, only a Special in Journalism or a particular PPrize.

In principle this intermediate category contains the biographies both, and only, of people who won a Special in Journalism (perhaps among other PPrizes) and of people who won a particular journalism PPrize for which we do not have a dedicated subcategory. No doubt I made some mistakes in moving some biographies here or down into one of the particular journalism subcats, and there were many such mis-classifications previously.

Those 60 biographies I moved down from the main category were mainly but not exclusively winners of journalism prizes, perhaps 50 journalists and 10 others. Those biographies all have some virtues; see my report Category talk:Pulitzer Prize winners#Coverage. I don't vouch for the hundreds of pages that have been down here longer.

One week later 19 pages remain in this "winners for journalism" (sub)category. I moved others to appropriate (sub)subcategories including three new ones:

1. Pulitzer Prize for Public Service winners (1918–present)
2. Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting winners — includes early rendition (jointly 1948–52 and 2007–present)
3. Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Reporting winners — includes predecessor Spot News Reporting (jointly 1991–present)

The remaining "winners for journalism" include 14 who won three yet earlier versions of that Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Reporting—we say in that article—namely, the prizes for Local Reporting, Edition Time (1953–63); Local General or Spot News Reporting (1964–84); and General News Reporting (1985–90). The fit does not look so good to me, so I did not diffuse them to the Breaking News subcategory.

The others who remain here are 4 winners of Pulitzer Prize Special Citations and Awards for Journalism and Gene Roberts (journalist), who is here for 17 prizes won by The Philadelphia Inquirer under his leadership.

Update: 24 pages now in the category, all biographies (no main article, etc), include 8 winners of Special Pulitzers for Journalism. That constitutes complete coverage of Special Pulitzer winners with EN.wiki biographies, or all eight bluelinks in this navbox:

Those eight biog's all cover the Special Pulitzer substantially with official ref and citation which is complete coverage in a second sense. --P64 (talk) 22:37, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

Winners?

One person I spot on this list didn't win a Pulitzer as a individual.....the whole staff at his paper won it (including him as he was a writer for the stories). Is the fact someone was on a staff sufficient to list them as a "winner" even if the prize doesn't mention them specifically?Rja13ww33 (talk) 22:12, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
