The National Enquirer is officially in the running for a Pulitzer. Despite earlier reports to the contrary, the prize board has accepted the tabloid's submission for breaking news of John Edwards’ affair. The staff is entered in two categories: investigative reporting and national news reporting, reports Emily Miller in the Huffington Post. The decision gives the Enquirer “the legitimacy it long deserved for breaking a political scandal of national significance,” she writes. (More National Enquirer stories.)
