Why the Pulitzers punted on features

A screening jury nominated three candidates for the Pulitzer Prize in Feature Writing, but they all were passed over. Poynter's Roy Peter Clark offers some ideas about the reasons for the snub: "Something unfortunate and unintended happens any time the Pulitzer Board decides not to give a prize in a particular category … The lack of a winner in a category casts a pall on all the finalists, calling attention to their imagined deficiencies rather than their capacities."
