Pulitzer Prizes for coverage of Ukraine and abortion

The Washington Post and New York Times newspapers, as well as the AP news agency, have been awarded the Pulitzer Prize for their coverage of U.S. exhaustion rights restrictions and the war in Ukraine. The Washington Post’s Caroline Kitchener received arguably the world’s most famous journalistic award on Monday for her coverage of a woman who gave birth to twins due to restrictions on abortion rights in the United States.

The New York Times won the international reporting category “for its staunch coverage of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, including an eight-month investigation into the Ukrainian deaths in the city of Bucha.”

AP credited the jury for its visual and verbal reporting from the heavily contested Ukrainian city of Mariupol, long after other news organizations had left the site. The 107th Pulitzer Prizes were announced by administrator Marjorie Miller.

Fifteen of the Pulitzer Prize’s 23 categories are devoted to journalistic work, from investigative stories to photographs to cartoons. The prize is also awarded for literature, music and theatre. The winners are determined by a jury from Columbia University in New York.

Barbara Kingsolver (“Demon Copperhead”) and Hernan Diaz (“Trust”) won in the novels category. In music, the Pulitzer went to Rhiannon Giddens and Michael Abels for their opera “Omar”.

But favorite-treated journalistic research that caused a global stir last year came up empty-handed: the “Politico” magazine article overturning the “Roe v. Wade” foundational judgment on abortion. With the help of an internal In an otherwise secretive Supreme Court document, “Politico” managed to report on the intended decision weeks before publication, sparking outrage from many people around the world and sparking an internal search for the leak in the US Supreme Court.

Instead, the “LA Times” won in the Breaking News category for researching racism among Los Angeles local politicians. (sda/dpa)
