The prestigious Pulitzer Prizes were announced Monday afternoon for accomplishments in journalism, but long before the winners were revealed the New York Times was acting like it had already won.
Near the front of Monday's paper it included a small segment with details about a Facebook Live interview with its 2017 winners, as Poynter called out.
The post from the paper said, "How does it feel to get a Pulitzer Prize? Ask The Times's recently announced 2017 winners yourself..." It went on to plug the Live session with the winners.
