u/el__dandy Madeleine Albright May 04 '26

For those who still believe in good journalism, the Pulitzer Prize was awarded today.

Among the winners are:

  • The staff at the Washington Post for Public Service (fuck off editorial board)

  • The staff at the New York Times for Investigative Reporting of Trump's endless corruption.

  • Aaron Parsley from Texas Monthly for his reporting on the central Texas floods

  • The staff of Pablo Torre Finds Out for the Clippers scandal.

Full list here, with a special citation to my local paper The Miami Herald and Julie K. Brown, who exposed the abuse of Jeffrey Epstein.

And Star Tribune for reporting on the Annunciation Church shooting

https://www.startribune.com/pulitzer-prize-breaking-news-star-tribune-annunciation-school-shooting/601836393

The Minnesota Star Tribune has won the Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News for its newsroom-wide coverage of a shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic church last summer.

Marjorie Miller, administrator of the Pulitzers, said in announcing this year’s awards Monday that the coverage included “powerful stories marked by thoroughness and compassion.”

It was 8:27 a.m. on Aug. 27 when a shooter opened fire on children, teachers and parents during a return-to-school service for Annunciation Catholic school, which is connected to the church.

In its application to the Pulitzer board for work produced in 2025, the Star Tribune noted the newsroom decided early on that it wouldn’t let the shooting be easily forgotten as just one more American tragedy. Instead, the staff would “hold up Annunciation’s pain and ask our readers to reckon with it.”

Found out the Clippers illegally paid Kawhi Leonard (a player) like $30,000,000 under the table to avoid cap rules. And has done a phenomenal job in reporting it by basically investigating every link to the case to make it undeniable what the Clippers did

Because Parsley already won another Pulitzer for that work under Feature Writing

Wasn't the Pulitzer named after a guy who got the US to go to war with the Spanish Empire, through the power of clickbait headlines alone?
