When I landed in New York City in June 2008, it was heady times for TPM. I arrived from Belgrade, where I had accepted an international press freedom award for TPM’s work on the U.S. attorneys scandal. While there, I had been approached by a representative of the Pulitzer Prize, inquiring about how the eligibility rules for the award could be expanded to include digital native news outlets like TPM.
Quality attracts quality. David Kurtz and Josh Marshall are at the top of the list when it comes to reliable reporting. I’m proud to be a Prime member and daily reader.
The greatest testament to TPM, besides their ability to build a quality organization in a sustainable manner, are the careers of all the exTPMers.
Barely a day goes by where I read some excellent reporting on the internet, look at the byline, think that the name sounds really familiar, and then realize that I was reading them in TPM a few years ago.
