Pulitzer Prize to the New York Times for coverage of Gaza

New York Times journalists won a Pulitzer for their coverage of the Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October, the Israeli intelligence fiasco and Israel's extensive military response. The 2024 awards for excellence in American journalism were announced today in New York. The one that went to the New York Times was for best international journalism.

Another award, for public service journalism, was given to ProPublica for its report on the Supreme Court that revealed how billionaires courted judges with gifts and trips, prompting the Court to adopt its first code of conduct.

The Associated Press won a Pulitzer Prize in the photography category for its coverage of migrants from around the world travelling to the US via Latin America.

The photos were taken throughout Latin America and along the US-Mexico border, in Texas and California. Another prize, for Breaking News photography, was awarded to Reuters.

In addition to honouring winners and finalists in 15 categories of journalism, the Pulitzer Council also recognises distinguished works in areas such as books, music and theatre.
