Some tidbits from The Pulitzer Prizes today:
* The New York Times adds to its list of most Pulitzers ever with three more. It now has 117.
* Two of The New York Times' wins today, in photography and international reporting, were related to the Ebola crises in Africa. The late David Carr of the Times also took a finalist nod in the commentary category.
* No online news outlets won prizes, with all of the awards going to newspapers that still have a print component.
* The Ferguson police shooting case won the breaking news award for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
* Bloomberg News won its first-ever Pulitzer, in the explanatory category, for coverage of corporate tax loopholes.
* The first magazine finalist was named, with The New Yorker being honored as a finalist in the feature category for a Riker's Island prisoner's story. This was the first year magazines were allowed to compete in two categories.
