'Pulitzer Prize or Not, The National Enquirer Will Soldier On'

-- Gawker reported on April 12, 2010:

"The National Enquirer didn't win a Pulitzer today for its reporting on John Edwards' baby mama drama. How's the tabloid coping with defeat? Just after the results were announced, we called Barry Levine, the Enquirer's executive editor, to find out.

The Enquirer had been nominated for awards in the investigative and national reporting categories. But in the end, the supermarket tabloid didn't even make the list of finalists. Levine seemed to be disappointed by the (totally unsurprising) defeat. ("Good, not great," he replied when we asked him how he was doing.) But just having the Enquirer in the running counted for something: "Certainly I think it was an honor for us to be a part of the process. But as far as I'm concerned, we've already won."

Levine was still miffed that the Enquirer's Edwards scoop, which he described as "the biggest political story of 2008," wasn't recognized, and he pointed to the New York Times' win last year for its reporting on the Eliot Spitzer scandal as an illustration of the double standard at work."
