Washington Post
After the Pulitzers were announced Monday, New York Times executive editor
Bill Keller told his staff that, in a congratulatory call to Washington Post executive editor
Leonard Downie Jr., the two editors agreed that "the Pulitzer judges have put a premium on watchdog journalism -- on journalism that demonstrated the press standing up to power, often with substantial consequences." The Post won four Pulitzers, the biggest one-year number of prizes in its history; the Times won three.
