Major congratulations to Sarah Kaufman at the Washington Post for winning the Pulitzer Prize in the Criticism category. I believe this is the FIRST Pulitzer ever given to a dance critic, at least in the Criticism category.
This is really a huge accomplishment because, in an era when papers are laying off dance critics right and left, it validates dance criticism as an important journalistic field. And it shows newspapers the value of having dedicated dance critics rather than hiring freelancers when coverage is needed.
