Weekday Portlandblogging

YOU ARE VISITING THE OLD MALKIN(S)WATCH. THAT'S FANTASTIC. PLEASE VISIT THE NEW MALKIN(S)WATCH WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE.
As an anonymous commenter on LA's site notes, one of the Malkins posts the list of pulitzer prize winners...minus Portland's own Nigel Jaquiss.
The revelation by the Williamette Week drove Goldschmidt, a high-level consultant and power broker, from public life.

As the award was announced in the offices of the Willamette Week, tears came to Jaquiss' eyes. Jaquiss is a former Wall Street stock trader who moved to Portland eight years ago to pursue a career in journalism.

Good for him. And shame on the Oregonian for covering it up for eighteen years.

I don't know how many alternative weeklies have won pulitzers, but it seems like quite an event to me.
