Plain Dealer's Connie Schultz wins Pulitzer

Plain Dealer columnist Connie Schultz -- who mixed wit and passion with the journalistic tradition of comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable -- is the winner of this year's Pulitzer Prize for commentary.

Schultz is the first member of The Plain Dealer in more than 50 years to win journalism's greatest honor. In 1953, editorial cartoonist Edward D. Kuekes won for a cartoon about a Korean War soldier who died before he was old enough to vote.

She was one of 14 journalism award winners honored by the Pulitzer Board on Monday, along with seven people in letters and arts categories.

In selecting Schultz, the Pulitzer judges opted for a writer who tried writing for working-class Clevelanders and engaging readers on the nation's divisive social issues.
