The Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting is awarded to an example of "local reporting that illuminates significant issues or concerns."[1][2] This Pulitzer Prize was first awarded in 1948. Like most Pulitzers the winner receives a $15,000 award.
In 1964 the Local Reporting Pulitzers were again renamed to "Local Investigative Specialized Reporting" and "Local General or Spot News Reporting."[citation needed] These prizes existed until 1984, when they were done away with.
In 2006, the prize committee announced that the Pulitzer Prize for Beat Reporting was going to be replaced by a recreated Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting.[3] Debbie Cenziper of The Miami Herald became the first reporter to win the re-created Pulitzer for Local Reporting.
The Pulitzer Committee issues an official citation explaining the reasons for the award.
