The Washington Post and the New York Times, as well as the AP news agency, received the Pulitzer Prize for their reporting on US attrition rights restrictions and the war in Ukraine. Caroline Kitchener of the Washington Post received what is probably the most famous journalistic award in the world for her reporting on a woman who gave birth to twins because of restrictions on abortion rights in the United States.
The New York Times won the international reporting category on Monday “for its unflinching coverage of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, including an eight-month investigation into the deaths of Ukrainians in the town of Bucha.” The Associated Press (AP) honored the jury for its visual and written reporting from the hotly contested Ukrainian city of Mariupol, long after other news organizations had left.
The 107th Pulitzer Prize was announced by Administrator Marjorie Miller. Fifteen of the 23 Pulitzer Prize categories are reserved for journalistic work, from investigative reporting to photos and cartoons. The prize is also given for literature, music and theatre. Winners are determined by a jury based at Columbia University in New York.
Barbara Kingsolver (“Demon Copperhead”) and Hernan Diaz (“Trust”) won in the romance category. In music, the Pulitzer went to Rhiannon Giddens and Michael Abels for their opera Omar.
However, a favorite news poll that caused a stir around the world last year came up empty: the “Politico” magazine article on the overturning of the historic “Roe v. Wade” judgment on abortion. With the help of an internal document from the secret Supreme Court, “Politico” was able to report the intended decision weeks before publication. The article provoked outrage from many people around the world and led to an internal search for the leak in the United States Supreme Court.
Instead, the “LA Times” won in the Breaking News category for research on racism among local politicians in Los Angeles.
