Joseph Rago '05 was awarded the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for editorial writing on Monday. Rago, who studied American history at the College, received the award for 10 editorial pieces he wrote for the Review & Outlook section of The Wall Street Journal that challenged President Barack Obama's health care reform. Rago served as the editor-in-chief of The Dartmouth Review as an undergraduate and currently serves on its advisory board, according to The Review. Rago's prize, which included $10,000 and was administered by Columbia University, was the first awarded to a Wall Street Journal writer since Rupert Murdoch's purchase of The Journal in 2007, according to The New York Times.
