I'm sure how familiar you are with the categories, but really, criticism?

None of those are really suitable nor would her blog piece be competitive in a category that would only be potentially suitable. And in my opinion it certainly doesn't deserve a pulitzer in investigative journalism.

I think it would be cool to a new category for something like this that better captures the intent of the piece.

Why isn't Fowler's piece considered criticism?

Looking at the prize awardees for criticism, the award is for art criticism. So it wouldn't apply to Fowler's writing.

Ok, does it not apply to commentary or any other Pulitzer prize category?
