Abortions and the war in Ukraine were the focus of this year’s Pulitzer Prize. Works by the newspapers “Washington Post” and “New York Times” as well as the AP news agency were awarded.
The Washington Post’s Caroline Kitchener received what is probably the most famous journalistic award in the world for her coverage of a woman who gave birth to twins due to restrictions on abortion rights in the US.
The New York Times on Monday won the international reporting category “for its staunch coverage of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, including an eight-month investigation into Ukrainian deaths in the city of Bucha.” The Associated Press (AP) honored the jury for its visual and written coverage from the heavily contested Ukrainian city of Mariupol, long after other news organizations had left the place.
Awards in a total of 23 categories
Fifteen of the Pulitzer Prize’s 23 categories are reserved for journalistic work, from investigative stories to photographs to cartoons. The prize is also awarded for literature, music and theatre. The winners are chosen by a jury from Columbia University in New York.
