This is an example of a breaking news story concerning President Obama's winning of the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to strenghen international diplomacy. The award came as a surprize, which meant the AP had to write an in-depth piece within an hour out of Oslo.

NewsTrust viewers should review this piece as breaking news assembled within an hour of an announcement, avoid the usual political comments occurring too frequently on this site, and critique this as journalism on deadline. In that light, this is an outstanding report.
