Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson captured the prize for commentary for his writing about the campaign that led to Barack Obama’s election.
Robinson said he did not wrestle with being a black journalist covering a black presidential candidate because “the great thing about a column is that you have a license to feel” and “I tried to allow myself to go with those feelings at times when it was appropriate.”
