In November 2006, the Pulitzer Prize Board announced two changes that would apply to the 2007 awards:
"online elements will be permitted in all journalism categories except for the competition's two photography categories, which will continue to restrict entries to still images."[2]
a "category called Local Reporting will replace Beat Reporting as one of the 14 prizes in journalism"; the board explained that "while the local category replaces the Beat Reporting category that was created in 1991, the work of beat reporters remains eligible for entry in a wide range of categories that include—depending on the specialty involved— national, investigative, and explanatory reporting, as well as the new local category."[2]
"For its creative and comprehensive probe into backdated stock options for business executives that triggered investigations, the ouster of top officials and widespread change in corporate America."
The gold medal awarded for Public Service in Journalism.
"For his exposure of cronyism and corruption in the state's two-year college system, resulting in the dismissal of the chancellor and other corrective action."
"For their richly portrayed reports on the world's distressed oceans, telling the story in print and online, and stirring reaction among readers and officials."
Ray Bradbury received an extraordinary citation "for his distinguished, prolific and deeply influential career as an unmatched author of science fiction and fantasy."
John Coltrane received an extraordinary posthumous citation "for his masterful improvisation, supreme musicianship and iconic centrality to the history of jazz."
