writing. The Pulitzer judges praised his reporting about a man found guilty of
carelessness that led to the death of his son. The man killed himself. Mr. Siegel also
wrote about the judge in the case.
Editorials express a newspaper’s opinions on issues. Two Los Angeles Times

about the problems facing mentally sick people who are homeless and live on the
streets.
The Wall Street Journal won the Pulitzer Prize for reporting events as they are
happening. Its award-winning story told about the destruction of the World Trade
Center. The attack also damaged the offices of the Wall Street Journal across the
street. Reporters had to write about the events from a temporary headquarters. The
newspaper still has not returned to its offices.
A cartoonist from the Christian Science Monitor in Boston, Massachusetts,
won the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning. Twenty drawings by Clay Bennett

Center attack.
Columbia University also gave Pulitzer Prizes to honor a play, poetry, books,
and music. Suzan Lori Parks became the first African American woman to win the

not last long. But it established beliefs that guided Americans in the early 20th
century.
