Details
The New York Times received four Pulitzer Prizes, and the New Yorker – three on Monday for journalism in 2024. The topics covered in the newspapers' materials concerned the US Army, the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump last summer, as well as the fentanyl crisis and the wave of opioid deaths in the United States.
Also international topics:
In the category "Best International Report", the committee noted the work of the newspaper "The New York Times" and its reporter Declan Walsh for covering the bloody conflict in Sudan, in particular the illegal trade in gold and regional deals that underlie local clashes.
The Pulitzer Committee awarded Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha, a native of Gaza, in the "commentary" category for his work published in the New Yorker magazine on the "physical and emotional massacre in Gaza."
But not only that.
Freedom of the press and freedom of speech, the First Amendment to the Constitution, which guarantees them, and therefore democracy itself. There are problems with all this in the United States today. Pulitzer Prize Administrator Marjorie Miller, who presented the 2025 laureates at Columbia University yesterday, issued a corresponding warning.
She also stressed the problem of wars in the world, noting the dismissals and financial difficulties that threaten the present and the future, including journalists.
The Pulitzer Prize, the most prestigious award in American journalism, also recognized the work of the Washington Post editorial staff. This refers to the "urgent" coverage of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump on July 13 during a rally in Pennsylvania.
The Pulitzer Prize honored American cartoonist Ann Telnes. The jury praised her "fearlessness, which led to her dismissal from the news organization." Telnes resigned from WP in January after the news outlet refused to publish her editorial cartoon ridiculing tech executives, including Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos, in the context of courtship with Trump.
Also, representatives of The Wall Street Journal editorial staff won in the nomination "National Report".
"Pro Publica" won in the nomination "Public Service", in particular for covering the topic of the tragedy of women who died due to the abortion ban.
