Follow-Up On Steve Breen’s Second Editorial Cartooning Pulitzer Yesterday



The day after the Pulitzer Prize announcement is always a happy one in editorial cartooning land, as fans of that art form rally behind the latest standard-bearer and the nominees are feted as well. The San Diego Union-Tribune's Steve Breen is this year's winner, his second before turning 40. Here's the annual "our guy won the award" article, one of the happier traditions around.

Mike Thompson of the Detroit Free Press and Matt Wuerker of Politico were the other nominees. Thompson is a classic multiple-nominations story, as this is his third. As Wuerker works for Politico.com rather than a standard daily and also works some with animation, that gives the category a bit of new media juice than an award to the more traditional Breen might have initially indicated.

Entries were down, aggregation sites were disqualified and on-line aspects to a story played a role in half the awards, says Editor & Publisher.
