The Pulitzer Prizes 2021, the highest honour in journalism, were announced on June 11, 2021.
The awards recognized the work of news outlets and their groundbreaking coverage of various historic events that shaped 2020, including devastating global pandemic, racial justice reckoning, or polarizing Presidential elections in the US.
One of the biggest contenders for the 2021 Pulitzer Prize was the New York Times investigation of the Income Tax information that the former US President Donald Trump kept from the public.
Even though the story did not take home the prize, The Times won two honours- Public Service and Criticism Pulitzers- for its extensive and in-depth COVID-19 coverage.
Another notable honour, the Breaking News Award went to the Star Tribune of Minneapolis for its reporting following George Floyd’s killing.
The Associated Press bagged two Pulitzer Prizes in photography for its coverage of the racial injustice protests as well as the Coronavirus’s toll on the elderly.
Congratulations to the 105th class of #Pulitzer Prize winners and finalists!

Pulitzer Prizes 2021 were originally scheduled for April 19, but the awards were postponed for the second consecutive year so that its 18 members board can deliberate in person, rather than remotely.
Notably, the 18-year old Darnella Frazier was honoured with the Special Citation for her cell phone recording of George Floyd’s murder. Her video spurred protests against police brutality all over the world, highlighting the significant role of citizens in journalists’ quest for truth and justice.
