More than 2,000 entries are submitted each year in the Pulitzer Prize competitions, and only 21 awards are normally made. The Pulitzer Prizes are awarded at a luncheon in late May, about a month after the names of the winners have been announced. The luncheon takes place at Low Library on the Columbia University campus. Beginning with the 1999 competition, the board sanctioned the submission by newspapers of online presentations as supplements to print exhibits in the Public Service category. The board left open the distinct possibility of further inclusions in the Pulitzer process of online journalism as the electronic medium developed. There are 21 Pulitzer categories. In 20 of those categories the winners receive a $7,500 cash award and a certificate. Only the winner in the Public Service category of the Journalism competition is awarded a gold medal. The Public Service prize is always awarded to a newspaper, not an individual, although an individual may be named in the citation. 2001 Pulitzer Prize Winners Journalism Public Service The Oregonian Breaking News Reporting The Miami Herald Staff Investigative Reporting David Willman of the Los Angeles Times Explanatory Reporting Chicago Tribune Staff Beat Reporting David Cay Johnston of The New York Times National Reporting The New York Times Staff International Reporting Ian Johnson of The Wall Street Journal International Reporting Paul Salopek of the Chicago Tribune Feature Writing Tom Hallman, Jr. of The Oregonian Commentary Dorothy Rabinowitz of The Wall Street Journal Criticsm Gail Caldwell of The Boston Globe Editorial Writing David Moats of the Rutland (Vt.)
