Mark Fiore Wins The 2010 Pulitzer Prize

Mark Fiore has won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning for a portfolio consisting of his self-syndicated cartoons and animated work appearing on SFGate.com. The prizes cited "his biting wit, extensive research and ability to distill complex issues" in naming him earlier today. He will receive $10,000 and a place in cartooning and journalistic history.

Fiore graduated from college in 1991, which I'm guessing makes him a younger man than many who win the award. He is one of the more lauded cartoonists for the breadth and scope of his on-line work. He's won divisional NCS Awards and the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award. If I'm reading this correctly, his entire submission may have been animated cartoons, which if true is quite the noteworthy event.

The other finalists were Matt Wuerker of Politico and Tony Auth of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
