The 2006 Pulitzer Prizes have been announced. Three of particular interest:

International Reporting went to Joseph Kahn and Jim Yardley of New York Times "for their ambitious stories on ragged justice in China as the booming nation’s legal system evolves."

Investigative Reporting went to Susan Schmidt, James V. Grimaldi and R. Jeffrey Smith of Washington Post "for their indefatigable probe of Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff that exposed congressional corruption and produced reform efforts."

Commentary went to Nicholas D. Kristof of New York Times "for his graphic, deeply reported columns that, at personal risk, focused attention on genocide in Darfur and that gave voice to the voiceless in other parts of the world."
