The Pulitzers honored the best in journalism from 2023 in 15 categories.
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.
The 15 photos in AP's winning entry were taken across Latin America and along the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas and California in a year when immigration was one of the world's biggest stories. They were shot by AP staffers Greg Bull, Eric Gay, Fernando Llano, Marco Ugarte and Eduardo Verdugo, and longtime AP freelancers Christian Chavez, Felix Marquez and Ivan Valencia.
In citing the Times for its work in Israel and Gaza, the Pulitzer board mentioned its coverage of the country's intelligence failures, along with the attack and Israel's military response. The Washington Post staff won in national reporting for its"sobering examination" of the AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, which came with some gut-wrenching photos."We were eager to find a way to cover it differently and change the conversation about mass shootings," Peter Walstein, the Post's senior national enterprise editor, said in the newspaper.
"In short, we did our jobs," the staff said in an unsigned article,"and we heard so many thanks for it. The Pulitzer is icing on that cake."
