NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Times won four Pulitzer Prizes and the New Yorker three on Monday for journalism in 2024 that touched on topics like the fentanyl crisis, the U.S. military and last summer’s assassination attempt on President Donald Trump.

The Pulitzers’ prestigious public service medal went to ProPublica for the second straight year. Kavitha Surana, Lizzie Presser, Cassandra Jaramillo and Stacy Kranitz were honored for reporting on pregnant women who died after doctors delayed urgent care in states with strict abortion laws.

The Washington Post won for “urgent and illuminating” breaking news coverage of the Trump assassination attempt. The Pultizers honored Ann Telnaes, who quit the Post in January after the news outlet refused to run her editorial cartoon lampooning tech chiefs — including Post owner Jeff Bezos — cozying up to Trump.

The Pulitzers honored the best in journalism from 2024 in 15 categories, along with eight arts categories including books, music and theater. The public service winner receives a gold medal. All other winners receive $15,000.

1. Cue the attempt to take over the

Pulitzer Committee in 3…2…1

2. You'd think the Guardian

or Wired, or ProPublica, or ICIJ would be far more deserving. I guess the old gray lady still has pull with old crony's?

3. ProPublica got one

AP had sent out a blaring "breaking news" banner with ProPublica's name in the breaking news headline but then when I went to the article, they had a different headline... but the mention it IS in the 2nd paragraph of the excerpts -

4. Ah...thank you!

5. It took me a bit to find the AP article on AP's site

because their app banner said -

AP
Breaking News
ProPublica wins 2025 Pulitzer for Public Service for reports on deaths of pregnant women in abortion-restricted states

Apparently that was their stringer headline which I see here - https://www.yahoo.com/news/propublica-wins-2025-pulitzer-public-192333904.html

The fuller story had all the other winners that ended up in this OP with a different headline!

6. I mis-read the article

the story that they received the award for...for some reason I thought that was from the NYTimes. I seem to be plowing through mowing over sentences.

7. There was a lot to unpack there

and my mind had already gone numb so I haven't actually teased all the awards apart for who got what. I think they wanted to get the story out there right when the announcement came out, so it was like a big run-on story.

8. They won for the coverage of a phony assassination attempt for a photo op?
