Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Reporting

The Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Reporting is a Pulitzer Prize awarded for a distinguished example of breaking news, local reporting on news of the moment. It has been awarded since 1953 under several names:[citation needed]

  • From 1953 to 1963: Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting, Edition Time
  • From 1964 to 1984: Pulitzer Prize for Local General or Spot News Reporting
  • From 1985 to 1990: Pulitzer Prize for General News Reporting
  • From 1991 to 1997: Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Reporting
  • From 1998 to present: Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Reporting

Prior to 1953, a Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting combined both breaking and investigative reporting under one category. The Pulitzer Committee issues an official citation explaining the reasons for the award.

Hitherto confined to local coverage, the Breaking News Reporting category was expanded to encompass state and national reporting in 2017.
