The best coverage award should have gone to UHub!

specifically requests that the stories to be considered for the award be submitted by the newspapers that wrote and published them is rigged by definition.

Adam had it on Twitter before ANYBODY else. And an hour or two later (not to mention the ensuing days - how many hours of sleep did you even get that week, Adam?), he was still rocking the coverage, while the NYT was blathering on about the Pulitzers it had just won.

I gotta say, the first place I went after I heard about the bombings was to UHub. I think I had it up on a browser tab all week.

If I wanted to hear a synopsis of the latest press conference, opinion pieces, or some kind of non-news from the FBI, I could check out the Globe. If I wanted to know what was going on in the neighborhoods (and this was key during the lockdown) I was on UHub. Great job, Adam.

But the Globe did do kind of a good job and all.. No, I didn't get much sleep that week :-).

Jen Gish, Globe writer, plaintively asking the people who were attacked:

"Did we fail the Tsarnaevs somehow?"

Even if it didn't, I had to laugh when little girl Jane was mad that her heroine, Michelle Obama, had visited her and she didn't remember.

That's always the proviso with the Pulitzer; the stories under consideration are submitted, not found by the committee.
