The New York Times earned three Pulitzer Prize awards on Monday, with Nikole Hannah-Jones receiving the award in commentary for her “sweeping, deeply reported and personal essay for the ground-breaking 1619 Project,” Brian M. Rosenthal winning in investigative reporting for an exposé on New York City’s taxi industry and the Times staff winning in international reporting.
Other media outlets awarded include the staff of Kentucky’s The Courier-Journal for breaking news reporting, the Anchorage Daily News — with contributions from ProPublica — for public service, the Washington Post for explanatory reporting, the Baltimore Sun for local reporting, the Los Angeles Times for Christopher Knight’s criticism and the New Yorker for Ben Taub’s feature writing and Barry Blitt’s editorial cartooning.
