The New Yorker won three Pulitzers, and ProPublica was given the public service award for its coverage of the deadly consequences of state abortion bans across the country.
The New York Times won four Pulitzer Prize awards on Monday, including for reporting on Sudan’s civil war and the failures of the United States in the war in Afghanistan, as well as photographs of the moments surrounding the attempted assassination of Donald J. Trump in Pennsylvania.
The Times also won in collaboration with the The Baltimore Banner, a nonprofit news outlet, for an investigation into the deadly opioid crisis.
The New Yorker won three awards, for commentary and feature photography as well as for its investigative podcast, “In The Dark.”
Started in 1917, the Pulitzer Prizes are presented annually by Columbia University for excellence in journalism and letters. ProPublica won the award for public service, considered the most prestigious of the Pulitzers, for its coverage of the impact of state abortion bans across the country. The reporters Kavitha Surana, Lizzie Presser and Cassandra Jaramillo and the photographer Stacy Kranitz used death certificates and hospital records to uncover how the bans had directly led to preventable deaths of mothers.
The staff of The Washington Post won the prize for breaking news reporting for their coverage of the attempted assassination of Mr. Trump at his rally in Butler, Pa., in July, which incorporated audio and visual forensics along with traditional reporting.
Ann Telnaes, formerly of The Washington Post, was awarded a prize for illustrated reporting and commentary. Ms. Telnaes, a cartoonist, resigned from The Post in January after the publication rejected a cartoon depicting its owner, Jeff Bezos. The Pulitzer board credited her with “delivering piercing commentary on powerful people and institutions with deftness, creativity — and a fearlessness that led to her departure from the news organization after 17 years.”
