USA - Times wins Pulitzer for fluoride editorials
Tim Nickens and Daniel Ruth of the Tampa Bay Times have won the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for editorial writing.
The pair was cited for “for their diligent campaign that helped reverse a decision to end fluoridation of the water supply” in Pinellas County.
The Times wrote at least 10 editorials on the topic during 2012.
Nickens has worked at the Times since 1983. Ruth was welcomed to the St. Petersburg newsroom after being laid off at the Tampa Tribune.
The award by Columbia University is considered the highest honor in journalism. The professional prestige is sweetened by a $10,000 award.
I wonder if it was on the writing or the content. Awards are given each year to water companies for getting the rate of fluoride accurate and now journalists get rewarded for promoting it.
