The 2012 Pulitzer Prizes were awarded on April 16, 2012 by the Pulitzer Prize Board for work during the 2011 calendar year.
 The deadline for submitting entries was January 25, 2012.
 For the first time, all entries for journalism were required to be submitted electronically.
 In addition, the criteria for the Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting has been revised to focus on real-time reporting of breaking news.
 For the eleventh time in Pulitzer's history (and the first since 1977), no book received the Fiction Prize.
' Tis is a memoir written by Frank McCourt.
 Published in 1999, it begins where McCourt ended "Angela's Ashes", his Pulitzer Prize winning memoir of his impoverished childhood in Ireland and his return to America.
The Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Photography is one of the American Pulitzer Prizes annually awarded for journalism.
 From 2000 it has used the "breaking news" name but it is considered a continuation of the Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography, which was awarded from 1968 to 1999.
 Prior to 1968, a single Prize was awarded for photojournalism, the Pulitzer Prize for Photography, which was replaced in that year by Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography and Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography.
The Pulitzer Prize for Music is one of the seven American Pulitzer Prizes that are annually awarded for Letters, Drama, and Music.
 It was first awarded in 1943.
 Joseph Pulitzer did not call for such a prize in his will, but had arranged for a music scholarship to be awarded each year.
 This was eventually converted into a full-fledged prize: "For a distinguished musical composition of significant dimension by an American that has had its first performance in the United States during the year."
 Because of the requirement that the composition had its world premiere during the year of its award, the winning work had rarely been recorded and sometimes had received only one performance.
 In 2004 the terms were modified to read: "For a distinguished musical composition by an American that has had its first performance or recording in the United States during the year."
Ashes to Ashes: America's Hundred-Year Cigarette War, the Public Health, and the Unabashed Triumph of Philip Morris, written by Richard Kluger and published by Alfred A. Knopf in 1996, won the 1997 Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction.
The Pulitzer Prize for History, administered by Columbia University, is one of the seven American Pulitzer Prizes that are annually awarded for Letters, Drama, and Music.
 It has been presented since 1917 for a distinguished book about the history of the United States.
 Thus it is one of the original Pulitzers, for the program was inaugurated in 1917 with seven prizes, four of which were awarded that year.
 The Pulitzer Prize program has also recognized some historical work with its Biography prize, from 1917, and its General Non-Fiction prize, from 1952.
The Lexington Herald-Leader is a newspaper owned by The McClatchy Company and based in the U.S. city of Lexington, Kentucky.
 According to the "1999 Editor & Publisher International Yearbook", the "Herald-Leader"'s paid circulation is the second largest in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
 The newspaper has won the 1986 Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting, the 1992 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Writing and the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning.
 It had also been a finalist in six other Pulitzer awards in the 22-year period up until its sale in 2006, a record that was unsurpassed by any mid-sized newspaper in the United States during the same time frame.
Francis "Frank" McCourt (August 19, 1930July 19, 2009) was an Irish-American teacher and writer.
 He won a Pulitzer Prize for his book "Angela's Ashes", a tragicomic memoir of the misery and squalor of his childhood.
The Carmel Authors and Ideas Festival takes place the last weekend of September in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.
 Held annually since 2007, it attracts many of the world's top authors and thinkers, including Pulitzer Prize winners.
 Presenters have included Frank McCourt, Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, Greg Mortenson, Khaled Hosseini, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Elizabeth Edwards, Seymour Hersh, Michael Pollan, Douglas Brinkley, Elizabeth Gilbert, Carl Hiaasen, and P. J. O'Rourke.
