The article, which received the award for investigative journalism, was written by Sheri Fink about the work in a New Orleans hospital after Hurricane Katrina. It was published in collaboration with The New York Times Magazine.
With four awards, the Washington Post received the most honors this year. It came out on top with its international reporting, features, commentaries and reviews. The New York Times, which won five awards in 2009, had to settle for three. The sensational National Enquirer came away empty-handed. It had entered the race with revelatory stories about an affair involving presidential candidate John Edwards.
The highest Pulitzer Prize for outstanding "public service" was awarded to The Herald Courier of Bristol newspaper in the US state of Virginia. It had uncovered shenanigans involving royalties for gas deposits on private land.

The aim is to convey the message that excursions on Lake Lucerne
are experiences of a particularly refreshing class. Three subjects with
different mottos embody the target group approach. The campaign will run in two waves in spring and summer 2010. The first campaign was launched in April 2010 and will be placed nationally around Switzerland's largest railroad stations. F200 Rail Rollingstars, Railposter with SMS competition and Rail City e-Boards will be used.

A fun tool is now available on the Swedish furniture store's website that allows visitors to playfully calculate the size of their future wardrobe. The tool differentiates between male and female space requirements - after all, men and women don't have the same things to store: In addition to the usual items of clothing, men can test how much space they need for their TV, fishing rod, sports equipment and trophies. She, on the other hand, can specify how many soft toys should be stored in the wardrobe. Particularly practical: the woman can also use the opportunity to test how much space she needs to hide her lover.

This is what the men's wardrobe looks like:

And so is the woman's:

The starting signal is given on Thursday - one day before the publication of the new World Cup collector's booklet. In the "Destination South Africa" series, the participating teams will be presented in the run-up to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. According to Ezio Bassi, Managing Director of Panini Switzerland, the series offers an excellent platform for presenting the booklet to a target group with an affinity for sport. In the magazine show "Sportwoche", booklets and pictures will also be raffled off, as Philip Michel, Head of Program Planning at SSF, told Werbewoche. Further campaigns are also planned, for example for the football talk show "Kick it!".

"We want to move into the next generation," said Michael Ringier in an interview with the Sonntagszeitung. "That's why my sister's son will be joining the Board of Directors next year." It is conceivable that Robin Lingg, who is currently working for a pharmaceutical company in Mexico, will one day succeed him as a shareholder - but not as CEO. "We have ruled that out", the publisher continued. The company will be managed by an external person.

The program has been broadcast from the Feusisberg-Strickli transmitter site for a few days now. A transmitter is also being planned in Oberurnen, which will improve reception between Rapperswil-Jona and Lake Walen. However, its realization still depends on the approval of the relevant authorities.

This was agreed between Wipo and the international format protection organization Frapa, to which more than 100 production companies belong. Not only the theft of ideas, but also increasingly complex contractual models require the intervention of neutral arbitrators more and more frequently, said Frapa President Ute Biernat. As an example, the German cited the dispute between the production company Fremantle and the Swiss broadcaster 3+ over the series "Bauer ledig sucht". Fremantle accuses the private broadcaster of having copied the RTL ratings hit "Bauer sucht Frau". For its part, broadcaster 3+ refers to the fact that Swiss television station SF had already previously had a similar format in its program, which Fremantle had in turn used.

The website shows a bird's eye view of the 25,000 square meter building complex in Wangen near Dübendorf. As sales are aimed exclusively at the specialist trade, this "barrier" was also implemented on the website: The flower shelves inside the Zurich Flower Exchange can only be seen by logged-in members in the password-protected specialist area.
