The Pulitzer Prize board, America’s premier journalism and writing awards, is now going to allow more online work to be submitted for awards.  The Pulitzer board allowed entries from Internet-only publications in all 14 journalism categories if the Web site was "primarily dedicated" to original news reporting. This year the board has dropped that requirement, allowing web sites that primarily publish commentary and links to other sites. However, the board continues to exclude entries from magazines and broadcast media, or their associated web sites. For more, read the official announcement on the Pulitzer site or the AP story

South Africa needs good journalism — and we need your help to keep delivering it

The market failure of journalism has caused a 70% loss of jobs in our industry. The result is entire regions of South Africa with little to no editorial coverage - and no independent accountability measures because of it. Daily Maverick has proven that we can deliver impact on South Africa.

There's a misconception that Daily Maverick, because it's a national news publisher, is in every corner of the country.

We're not.  But we need to be.  Help us get there.
