For the first time, all entries for journalism were required to be submitted electronically. In addition, the criteria for the Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting has been revised to focus on real-time reporting of breaking news.^[1] For the eleventh time in Pulitzer's history (and the first since 1977), no book received the Fiction Prize.^[2]

Reaction to fiction prize decision

A three-member panel nominated three books, which were then sent to the 20-member Pulitzer Prize Board.

Because no book received a majority of the votes from the board members, no prize was given.^[3] This was the first time since 1977, and the eleventh time in Pulitzer history that there was no winner in the fiction category.
