We've seen some nice commentary on our Pulitzer Prize. The NYT's Aron Pilhofer called it "a watershed moment in journalism ." In Columbia Journalism Review, Megan Garber explores whether PolitiFact is a new species of journalism or just a new twist on an old breed.
In the blog for PBS's MediaShift Idea Lab, Rich Gordon writes that "Twenty years from now, I hope we'll see thousands of journalists developing online software applications that inform, engage and enlighten the way PolitiFact does."
