(述来)4月13日消息，据国外媒体报道，美国新闻网站ProPublica获得了普利策新闻奖，这是网络媒体自去年参与角逐以来首次获得这一新闻大奖。

ProPublica是一家非营利性新闻机构，其记者谢利·芬克(Sheri Fink)与《纽约时报》旗下《纽约时报杂志》合作撰写了有关卡特里娜飓风灾害中遇难人数的调查报告，获得了调查报告类普利策新闻奖。

普利策新闻奖评委会主任西格·吉斯勒(Sig Gissler)表示：“未来几年中我们将越来越多地见到这种模式，不同新闻机构之间将进行更多的合作。”

业内人士认为，该网站为处于困境中的新闻行业带来一种新模式。

此外，除ProPublica之外，《旧金山纪事报》网站www.sfgate.com还获得了漫画创作奖，这也是网络媒体首次获得这一奖项。

普利策奖设立于1917年，一直只针对报纸和通讯社等传统媒体。2009年首次允许新闻网站参与角逐，但网媒并没有收获任何奖项。

今年政治新闻网站(politico.com)执行主编吉姆·范德海入选美国普利策奖评审委员会，令网络新闻媒体能获得普利策奖更多的承认。
