Matt Wuerker Wins Herblock Prize



Matt Wuerker of Politico an Arlington, Virginia based political newspaper and syndication hub, has won this year's Herblock Prize for editorial cartooning. He was nominated by his editor-in-chief. Wuerker was one of last year's Pulitzer Prize finalists, and in both cases it's worth noting that his primary platform can be argued to have a greater resonant effect than a direct effect on a wide-ranging readership -- a sign of the drift away from the dominance of the hometown newspaper cartoonist.

Wuerker is the seventh winner of the prize and follows 2009's winner, Pat Bagley. Bagley won a silver trophy and $15,000 after taxes; I would assume something similar is going to Wuerker.
