the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography in April 2008, shortly after departing from the Monitor. Gannaway was honored for her work on a project called "Remember Me" chronicling a local woman's death. It was the first time a newspaper in New Hampshire was awarded the prize. The Monitor stood out as the smallest paper to win an award that year, with its circulation just a fraction of the next smallest, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. While 2008 was the first year the Monitor or one of its staff won a Pulitzer, the paper has a number of alums who have been honored, including Jo Becker of The New York Times and Steven Pearlstein of The Washington Post, both of whom also won the award in 2008. In 1999, the Columbia Journalism Review said that the Monitor was the best small paper in America and Time magazine has named it one of "America's best newspapers".
