The Pulitzer is for working Journalsts Only, it is a Huge honor to be included as a non-journalist
@AnneWimsey From their submission guidelines:
"Are freelance journalists eligible?
Freelance reporters, photographers, cartoonists, columnists, critics or bloggers who produce work in print or online can enter the competition if their submitted work has been published by eligible newspapers, magazines or news sites during the calendar year. Freelancers have won Pulitzer Prizes."
@JeffMurray she is Nota Freelancer" has never "submitted work" (operative word WORK, you have to been paid for your work at some point! Why is this so hard to understand?
@AnneWimsey What's hard to understand is that these rules you're citing (which I couldn't find in writing on their website by the way) are arbitrary and stupid. That seems like a distinction without a difference to me. To claim that simply because she didn't get paid for her recording means the group that sets the rules and gives out the prizes can't make an adjustment to their own arbitrary rules. So if one organization offered her $1 to use her footage (which I don't know she didn't get paid at all) that would make all the difference and classify her as a freelancer? Give me a break. Also, are you telling me that freelancers aren't freelancers unless they've been paid? Is that one payment good forever? Or does it only last for a month? A year? Furthermore, she kind of did get paid if you ask me. She's made $709,000 as a direct result of her recording.
It was an incredibly brave thing to do in those horrible circumstances, incredible!
