Oh, wait. Whoops. Our mistake. There is no Pulitzer travel category. Just another reminder of how low the regard is for travel writing in the American newspaper biz. It’s too bad, too, because the travel section is where most Americans are likely to first encounter published travel writing. On a brighter note, congratulations to the winners announced yesterday, including our friends at the San Diego Union-Tribune, who single-handedly uncovered the misdeeds of one very crooked congressman.
