The Washington Post reports:
The Washington Post was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for public service on Monday for its coverage of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and its aftermath.
The prize, considered American journalism’s highest honor, recognizes the work of more than 100 journalists across the Post’s newsroom, many of whom contributed reporting from the Capitol grounds that day as well as others who investigated the security failures that contributed to the crisis, the human costs of the attack and the larger ramifications for the nation.
“This was a seminal event in American history and democracy,” Washington Post executive editor Sally Buzbee said. She called it the Post’s “mission and our absolute sacred trust” to not just cover the crisis thoroughly but to find ways to get its reporting and analysis out “to as broad an audience as possible.”
The New York Times reports:
The New York Times was awarded Pulitzer Prizes on Monday for its investigative journalism and cultural criticism. The staff of The Times won the prize in the international category for a deeply reported look at the failures of America’s air war across the Middle East, including its tragic civilian toll.
An investigation into deadly police traffic stops around the United States by The Times was also recognized for national reporting. The Salamishah Tillet, a contributing critic at large for The Times, won the criticism category for her writing on race in arts and culture.
Every day working with my colleagues is a good one. Today especially so. Thank you the the Pulitzer judges for recognizing our work. https://t.co/dz3pFxP3PH
