The Pulitzer Prizes will start accepting online material along with print material in all 14 of its journalism categories starting with the 2006 competition. Online submissions will be limited to stories and images in all categories except for Public Service. In the Public Service category, which has allowed an online element since 1999, all online material, from databases to interactive graphics, will continue to be permitted. In two categories -- Breaking News Reporting and Breaking News Photography -- an entry consisting entirely of material published online will be permitted. The new rules were adopted after a study that began a year ago. In the past two years, two winning entries had major online components. Although those online components technically didn't count for the prize, they may have helped persuade the Pulitzer Prize Board of the need to include online material in all categories.
