Matt Wuerker, an editorial cartoonist from Palos Verdes, was awarded a Pulitzer Prize on Monday for what the award committee described as “his consistently fresh, funny cartoons, especially memorable for lampooning the partisan conflict that engulfed Washington.”
Wuerker works for Politico, an online-only political journalism organization based in Washington D.C., where he has drawn cartoons since the site’s launch in 2007.
This year marked the first time for-profit, online-only publications have won journalism’s most prestigious award. Huffington Post received this year’s Pulitizer for national reporting.
