John Edwards infidelity Coverage May Win a Pulitzer
After its relentless reporting blew the lid off the John Edwards-Rielle Hunter cheating scandal, the National Enquirer is in the running for a Pulitzer Prize. The Enquirer’s coverage of Edwards' double life is being considered for investigative reporting and national news reporting awards.
The story of his affair and love child with Rielle Hunter was initially ignored until finally accepted by mainstream media. The significance of the story was the fact that John Edwards came quite close to been nominated as Presidential Candidate for Democratic Party.
The mainstream media was initially hesitant to run the story but The Enquirer's relentless pursuit brought the story in to limelight.
