Which newspapers won the most Pulitzer Prizes?

The New York Times has won the most Pulitzer Prizes by far, at 109, including the five received in 2011. The newspaper with the second best record is The Washington Post, with 57; the Los Angeles Times, with 39; and the Wall Street Journal, with 34. The Chicago Tribune, Boston Globe and Miami Herald have also won a respectable number of Pulitzer Prizes for journalism. The Associated Press, which is not a newspaper but a news service, has won 49 Pulitzers since 1917, mostly for photography.

[Count includes all Journalism award categories including editorial cartoons, photography and Public Service.]

I read the NYT online as well.

The opposite case also applies, of course.
What paper to subscribe to depends on your own bias: a political agenda is largely invisible if you happen to agree with it, after all.

I enjoy reading the British newspapers
including the tabloids. British tabloids are
the gold standard which is why so many
American tabloids are edited by or well
staffed with Brits.

The paper (The Globe) looks professional and the articles are well written. While the Boston Herald is tabloid trash. When picking a newspaper you'll just have to study each of them on your own over a period of time. Its a time consuming process, I realized, BUT, you'll get nearly all the facts regarding an issue. As you read, you'll find over time which publications provide the most facts, give the different sides equal time to rant and keep the personal opinion of the writer to a minimal.

But dont stick to just newspapers for your information.

Quite. Rush Limpdick has the final word in defining reality for a large chunk of the population, and there's all of those blogs on the internet set up to spread partisan astroturf.
Much more reputable than any source that has to print a retraction and apologise if they're caught lying...

Your local one. 

The internet is going to provide you with access to multiple views on world/national, and even state affairs, but the only way you are going to get coverage of the news that is going to directly impact your day to day life is to support your local daily or weekly.  The New York Times isn't going to bother telling you about the candidates for your school board, or how the city council voted on a bond measure to install a new storm drain (much less when an arterial you commute on is going to be torn up to install that new storm drain).  The Wall Street Journal won't give you the rundown on high school sports, and which local kid advanced to Nationals in an American Legion speech contest, or where the Elks/Moose/K of C Lodge will be holding a car wash to raise money to buy a disabled veteran a modified car.  The LA Times classified ads certainly aren't going to have anything on estate and garage sales that would be worth hitting in your neighborhood on Saturday morning, much less the free "found" ads that might bring a lost puppy or cat back home.

As for the post,I am going to choose to answer it on the basis of"if I can only read one newspaper,what paper shout that be ?"
The New York Times of course,"All the News That's Fit to Print " and all that

You're sure that the OP isn't just curious which paper other posters read, and why they like that one?

The New York Times is pure propaganda, nothing but far left drivel. Just another arm of the Democrat party... Its so bad that it cant even hold on to its socialist base and its circulation is plummeting, going broke fast.

Most of the old (or far left) media is going teats up because the Internet is making it possible for the public to see through their lies. Only the true Kool-Aid drinkers regularly patronize such poisoned "news" sources these days

So why, o bringer of truth, is the Chicago Tribune in financial trouble as well?

The Guardian has 2 editions a US and an England issue, never hurts to see how the world sees us.

Servant what difference does my age make? Does fox news lie less if I am older or younger?

I am starting with the la times and looking fofrward to the reg. Thanks again

  No, probably not.  I like to say that if you want to know what's going to be in the national/world section of my paper tomorrow, look at the Yahoo News feed, today.  That's what the internet is for.
