Wall Street Journal wins 2 Pulitzer Prizes

The Wall Street Journal won two Pulitzer Prizes on Monday for exposing excesses of capitalism –in America and China.

The prizes, awarded by Columbia University, included honors for coverage of the stock options scandal that rattled corporate America in 2006 and what judges called “sharply edged reports on the adverse impact of China’s booming capitalism on conditions ranging from inequality to pollution.”

Gene Roberts, who helped his reporters win Pulitzer Prizes, including 19 while at the Philadelphia Inquirer, won one of his own this year as co-author with Hank Klibanoff for their book "The Race Beat: The Press, the Civil Rights Struggle, and the Awakening of a Nation.”

"It's never too late," said Roberts, who at 74 still teaches journalism at the University of Maryland in College Park.
