Extra Word Sudoku (Qudoku!) Puzzle for Thursday, 5/30/2013

Publicity is the greatest moral factor … in our public life.”
—Joseph Pulitzer

The 2013 Pulitzer Prizes will be awarded in a few hours. In honor of this prestigious event, in the last few days I’ve presented a series of quotes from the newspaper magnate.

I’ve saved one of Pulitzer’s most famous quotes, at least in newsrooms all across the U.S. It speaks of a reporter’s responsibility to his or her viewers, readers or listeners. He said this more than a century ago. Despite all the amazing technological changes that have occurred in news reporting in that time, Pulitzer’s advice (or demand) to journalists remains relevant today.
