New York ? The New York Times has suspended Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Rick Bragg for two weeks, the Columbia Journalism Review reported Friday, the same day the newspaper published an editors’ note about his handling of a feature story about Florida oystermen.

The note said that while Bragg wrote the June 15 article and visited the town where it originated, interviewing at the scene was done by a freelance journalist. The note did not make it clear whether Bragg’s editors had known the role of the freelancer at the time.
