It has been a difficult few years for US news organizations. President Donald Trump relentlessly attacks what he believes to be a biased, factually agnostic media, while he breaks protocol for keeping the public informed and tweets outright lies. Today the Pulitzer Prize, the biggest prize in US journalism, celebrates the persistence of reporters and commenters.
Last year American journalists broke stories that sent longtime abusers and harassers tumbling down from their perches of power, and created a national conversation about gender that’s having ripple effects around the world. As predicted by many, the 2018 award winners include The New York Times for Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey’s coverage of Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein’s sexual abuse, and The New Yorker for its reporting on sexual abuse, by Ronan Farrow. The feature photography prize went to Reuters for its coverage of the Rohingya genocide.
Each winner or winning team receives a $15,000 cash prize, except the recipients for public service, who are given gold medals. (The prizes for literature and the arts were also announced today.)
