Apple Invites Pulitzer Prize-Winning Cartoonist to Resubmit Rejected iPhone Application

Yesterday, the Nieman Journalism Lab reported that Mark Fiore, who earlier this week won a Pulitzer Prize for his political cartoons, had submitted an iPhoneapplication highlighting his work last year, but was rejected by Apple. The rejection was based on prohibitions in Apple's developer agreement against ridiculing public figures.

Quote:

In December, Apple rejected his iPhone app, NewsToons, because, as Apple put it, his satire "ridicules public figures," a violation of the iPhone Developer Program License Agreement, which bars any apps whose content in "Apple's reasonablejudgement may be found objectionable, for example, materials that may be considered obscene, pornographic, or defamatory."http://install-how.blogspot.com/2011/03/apple-invites-pulitzer-prize-winning.html

Fiore, who publishes his animated works on SFGate.com, the online arm of the San Francisco Chronicle, is notable as being the first online-only journalist to win a Pulitzer Prize.

The New York Times today reports that Apple has invited Fiore to resubmit hisapplicationfor inclusion in theApp Store. Theapplicationwas resubmitted this morning, and Fiore is now awaiting word on a decision from Apple, which refused to comment publicly on the situation.
