Pulitzer Board heeds CL’s advice
April 16, 2007 at 4:07 pm by Andisheh Nouraee in NewsAJC Editorial Page Editor Cynthia Tucker won the Pulitzer Prize for commentary today.
In a press release, the Pulitzer Prize Board praised Tucker’s “courageous, clear-headed columns that evince a strong sense of morality and persuasive knowledge of the community.”
In 2006, Creative Loafing named Tucker Best Columnist in our Best of Atlanta issue. We wrote that Tucker “produces timely and often courageous columns that dare to expose the clay feet of such local idols as Cynthia McKinney and the King family.”
In addition to a handsome trophy and a $10,000 cash prize, Tucker can now compete each morning with editorial cartoonist Mike Luckovich and Managing Editor Hank Klibanoff for the AJC’s prestigious “Reserved For Pulitzer Prize-Winners Only” parking space.
The award is well-deserved and we wish her congratulations.
