Post-Star Pulitzer
Glens Falls Post-Star editorial page editor Mark Mahoney won a Pulitzer Prize today for editorial writing. Judges praised Mahoney "for his relentless, down-to-earth editorials on the perils of local government secrecy, effectively admonishing citizens to uphold their right to know."

We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.

This is great news for the small-town paper to the North, and great prestigious news for the area, period. We may complain all the time about the local papers (this commenter included) but people in this area don't realize how fortunate we are to have so many good papers (for now anyway), and the Post-Star might be the best of them, and may be one of the best in its circulation size in the country. Mahoney is apparently a native of Wappingers Falls in Dutchess County, and as a fellow native of that area who grew up "reading" the tissue-paper thin, News Lite Poughkeepsie Journal, believe me, I know from bad papers. This is a very long-winded way of me saying we're fortunate for the newspaper landscape in this area (while it lasts), and for the blog-scape with All Over Albany (shameless brown-nosing, I know, I know).
