The New York Times and The Washington Post were awarded three Pulitzer Prizes apiece on Monday for work in 2023 that dealt with everything from the war in Gaza to gun violence.
The Associated Press won in the feature photography category for coverage of global migration to the US.
The Times won for text coverage that the Pulitzer board described as ‘wide-ranging and revelatory’, while the Reuters news service won for its photography. The citation went to journalists and other writers covering the war in Gaza, according to the Associated Press.
The prestigious public service award went to ProPublica for reporting that ‘pierced the thick wall of secrecy’ around the US Supreme Court to show how billionaires gave expensive gifts to justices and paid for luxury travel.
Reporters Joshua Kaplan, Justin Elliott, Brett Murphy, Alex Mierjeski and Kirsten Berg were honored for their work.
The Pulitzers honored the best in journalism from 2023 in 15 categories, as well as eight arts categories focused on books, music and theater. The public service winner receives a gold medal. All other winners receive $15,000.
