Pulitzer Prize: Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Los Angeles Times Wins The Prestigious Award

NEW YORK: The 107th Pulitzer Prize which had been awarded by Columbia University was awarded to The Wall Street Journal for Investigative Reporting, The Los Angeles Times for breaking news, and The New York Times for international reporting.

The Associated Press received two Pulitzer Prizes for its coverage of the Ukraine conflict, including the most prestigious of all, the Public Service Prize.

The Los Angeles Times won the Pulitzer Prize for breaking news for exposing a covertly recorded conversation among city officials containing racist remarks, while the Washington Post won the national reporting award for her coverage of abortion following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to repeal the right to abortion nationwide.

The New York Times was awarded the international reporting prize for its coverage of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

According to a report “The Wall Street Journal won a Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting for its story on how more than 2,600 federal officials invested in corporations that benefited from their agency' work.”

The Journal was also nominated as a finalist for international reporting for Yaroslav Trofimov and James Marson's reportage from Ukraine.

According to another report “Caroline Kitchener of the Washington Post won the national reporting prize for her coverage of abortion in the United States after the Supreme Court overturned the historic 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized the procedure nationally last year. Eli Saslow, now at the Times, won the Post's feature writing award.”

The Pulitzer Prizes, first granted in 1917, are the most prestigious awards in American journalism. The awards are named after newspaper publisher Joseph Pulitzer, who died in 1911 and donated money to establish the awards and a journalism school at Columbia University.

On the other hand, AL.com, an Alabama news website, earned two Pulitzer Prizes: one for local reporting and one for opinion.
