Pulitzer Prizes in journalism awarded to The New York Times, The Washington Post, AP and others

The New York Times and The Washington Post were awarded three Pulitzer Prizes apiece on Monday for work in 2023 that dealt with everything from the war in Gaza to gun violence, and The Associated Press won in the feature photography category for coverage of global migration to the U.S.

Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel and its aftermath produced work that resulted in two Pulitzers and a special citation. The Times won for text coverage that the Pulitzer board described as “wide-ranging and revelatory,” while the Reuters news service won for its photography. The citation went to journalists and other writers covering the war in Gaza.

The prestigious public service award went to ProPublica for reporting that “pierced the thick wall of secrecy” around the U.S. Supreme Court to show how billionaires gave expensive gifts to justices and paid for luxury travel. Reporters Joshua Kaplan, Justin Elliott, Brett Murphy, Alex Mierjeski and Kirsten Berg were honored for their work.

The fact that the NYT of all journals won a Pulitzer simply makes me put no stock in the award.

It renders it meaningless to give it to a journal that was not only caught fabricating information recently concerning Gaza, but going so far back as the Iraq war at least.

The journalists covering Gaza, at least the ones on the ground, deserve a hell of a lot more than a citation. They deserve fucking medals. Not the the 97 who have been murdered so far would get to receive them.
