Spencer S. Hsu won the Ursula and Gilbert Farfel Prize for investigative reporting in this year's Scripps Howard Awards,

Other winners include Patricia Callahan, Sam Roe and Michael Hawthorne of the Chicago Tribune
for their series on flame retardant furniture, Lisa Krantz of the San Antonio Express-News
for her photojournalism, and the Denver Post for
its breaking-news coverage of the July 2012 Aurora, Colo., theater shootings. The New York Times won in the

also both won ASNE awards.

CBS and NPR's coverage of the Syrian uprising were recognized by the 2013 Alfred I. duPont-Columbia Awards, whose
winners were announced Wednesday morning by Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism.
CBS reporter Clarissa Ward "bravely reported on what was happening inside Syria’s dangerous and largely inaccessible insurgent strongholds despite government efforts to keep foreign journalists away," the awards say.
To report this extraordinary series of nine stories, Ward entered Syria posing as a tourist carrying only a small camera. She gave viewers the rare opportunity to meet the people behind the shaky cell phone videos posted on YouTube. With deliberate and straightforward reporting, Ward provided riveting details about activists and regular citizens as their struggle brought Syria to the brink of civil war.

Arianna Huffington appeared on "The Colbert Report" Wednesday night to talk about
her website's first Pulitzer Prize win. Huffington Post started in 2005, the same year as Stephen Colbert's show. "And you and I are just racing toward the accolades," he said, then asked: "What specifically did Huffington Post win for? Was it for Heidi Klum nip slips? What was the article?" Here's the exchange that followed:
Huffington: You know what Stephen, I have a feeling that you're just bitter and jealous.
Colbert: Am I? Am I? How's your Peabody, baby? How's your Peabody? Maybe my Peabody could fight your Pulitzer. ... As a website you win a Pulitzer Prize, right? You can also win a Peabody with a website.
Huffington: Who needs a Peabody when you have a Pulitzer? ... You need to stop aggregating the Huffington Post. Do you know how much of our material you use?
Colbert: All of it. ... A year ago I started the Colbuffington Re-post. You aggregate from all over the Internet, and I re-aggregate from all over your website. And I hope you're here to give me my re-Pulitzer.
After the jokes, Huffington talked about
David Wood's Pulitzer Prize-winning work. Wood told Mallary Tenore on Monday about his win, "It’s an affirmation of what Arianna said: ‘You can do great journalism from any platform.’ ” Here's full video of Huffington with Colbert:
