The National Enquirer is responsible for pursuing the John Edwards story and was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize.

Barry Levine, the Enquirer’s executive editor said, “The heavy lifting that we did on the John Edwards story was more than anything the Times did on Spitzer. and they won the prize.
In the back of my mind, it’s clear to me that if this reporting had been done by the New York Times, or the Washington Post or a big paper like the LA Times, it’s almost certain they would have won the prize.
Prize or no prize, we’re going to continue to be out there, we’re going to continue to break big political scandals,” he said.
