National Honors
2007
The city's second Pulitzer line is a person's. Charlie Savage, a Fort Wayne native writing for the Boston Globe, won the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting for his 2006 series on presidential signing statements — the Globe's disclosure of how the Bush administration had used the statements to claim the power to set aside parts of laws Congress had passed. He was in his early thirties. Savage's career, from Fort Wayne to the Globe and on to the New York Times, is profiled in the People sections and is not retold here; the ledger entry is the prize, its year, its category, and the work it honored, all as the Pulitzer board's own record states them.
