The Pulitzer Prizes for 2007 were announced on April 16, 2007.
In November 2006, the Pulitzer Prize Board announced two changes that would apply to the 2007 awards:
- "online elements will be permitted in all journalism categories except for the competition's two photography categories, which will continue to restrict entries to still images."
- a "category called Local Reporting will replace Beat Reporting as one of the 14 prizes in journalism"; the board explained that "while the local category replaces the Beat Reporting category that was created in 1991, the work of beat reporters remains eligible for entry in a wide range of categories that include—depending on the specialty involved— national, investigative, and explanatory reporting, as well as the new local category."
