John Archibald, long the voice of the aggrieved in Alabama, has won the Pulitzer Prize for commentary for his writing about Alabama politics in a year marked by trouble atop all three branches of state government and a dramatic U.S. Senate race that ended in an upset victory by Democrat Doug Jones over conservative judge Roy Moore.

Birmingham-based Alabama Media Group (AMG) announced today it is a finalist for several national and international awards highlighting exceptional journalism, thought-leadership and industry best practices.
