Before the Pulitzer Announcement

Two excellent articles this week about the Pulitzer Prize for Music:

• Julia Kuhlman, Whose Pulitzer Prize?Reception History Behind the Brand-Name Prestige, at I Care If You Listen
• Will Robin, A Year After Kendrick Lamar, Will the Music Pulitzer Embrace Pop?, in the NY Times

I encourage reading both before Monday's announcement.
