For The First Time, Pulitzer Prize Board Will Accept Entries From Web-Only Publications

Monday December 8, 2008

In an historic first, the board that awards the Pulitzer Prize, considered the highest honor in print journalism, has decided to accept submissions from web-only news outlets.

The board said Monday it had decided to allow entries made up entirely of online content to be submitted in all 14 Pulitzer award categories.

But all entries must come from from U.S. newspapers or news organizations that publish at least weekly, that are "primarily dedicated to original news reporting and coverage of ongoing stories," and that "adhere to the highest journalistic principles.”

In other words, in keeping with the tradition of the Pulitzers, nothing from magazines or broadcast websites will be accepted.

"This is an important step forward, reflecting our continued commitment to American newspapers as well as our willingness to adapt to the remarkable growth of online journalism," Sig Gissler, administrator of the Prizes, said in a statement. "The new rules enlarge the Pulitzer tent and recognize more fully the role of the Web, while underscoring the enduring value of words and of serious reporting.”

The changes take effect with the 2009 prizes.

Beginning in 2006, online content from newspaper websites was permitted in all Pulitzer journalism categories, but online-only newspapers were not allowed to submit entries, and entirely-online entries were permitted in only two categories - breaking news coverage and breaking-news photography.

In addition to text-based stories, the competition will continue to allow a full range of online content, such as interactive graphics and video, in nearly all categories. Two photography categories will continue to restrict entries to still images.

The Pulitzer Board also released a Q&A about which kind of publications would be eligible.

For instance, asked to give examples of online-only papers that would qualify, the Q&A reads: "A growing number of sites, such as MinnPost, Voice of San Diego, St. Louis Beacon and Washington Independent, do original reporting. But it is premature to discuss eligibility before an entry has actually been submitted."

xpy – небольшая утилита, предназначенная для отключения, присутсвующих по умолчанию в Windows XP, различных сервисов и закрытию “дыр” в системе безопасности. Все действия в xpy направлены на то, чтобы отключить или блокировать небезопасные для пользоватя опции, которые могут привести к ухудшению защиты ОС.
Помимо классических antispy возможностей, xpy закрывает дыры в безопасности, например, в службе удаленного вызова процедур (rpc) и в Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) – программная архитектура, разработанная компанией Microsoft для распределения приложений между несколькими компьютерами в сети.

Хотя объем xpy менее 80 килобайт, программа способна защитить компьютер на долгое время, в отличие от “больших” сервис-паков, которые обезопасят вас лишь до обнаружения новых уязвимостей.
