The public journalism award, considered the most prestigious, honored AP journalists Mstyslav Chernov, Evgeniy Maloletka, Vasilisa Stepanenko and Lori Hinnant, who bravely stayed in Mariupol last spring to cover fighting between Russia and Ukraine in the city.
Maloletka was also part of the AP team in Ukraine that won the breaking news category, with a photo of a pregnant woman who was injured and later died in Mariupol. This photo had previously won the World Press Photo award.

A news site, AL.com, has won two Pulitzer Prizes, one for local journalism and one for commentary.
The Los Angeles Times won a Pulitzer Prize for breaking news reporting that revealed secretly recorded conversations between city council members that included racist comments, a scandal that led to the resignation of two officials.
The paper's journalist Christina House also won an outstanding photography award for her series about the life of a pregnant homeless woman.
In addition to international journalism, the New York Times also won awards for illustration and commentary. The NYT has won 137 Pulitzer Prizes since the awards began.
The Wall Street Journal won the investigative reporting prize for its story revealing financial conflicts of interest among officials at dozens of federal agencies.
Caitlin Dickerson, a reporter for The Atlantic magazine, took home the explanatory journalism prize for her in-depth examination of the US policy under former President Donald Trump of separating parents from their children at the US border.
The Pulitzer Prize also awards prizes in eight writing-related arts categories, such as books, music and drama.
Two Washington Post reporters, Robert Samuels and Toluse Olorunnipa, won the Pulitzer Prize for their novel "His Name Is George Floyd," a book about the black man killed by police in Minneapolis in 2020 that sparked international protests.

The Pulitzer Prizes are named after their founder, Joseph Pulitzer, who was the editor of the New York World and left the prize in his will when he died in 1911. At that time, Pulitzer only proposed 13 prizes: 4 for journalism, 4 for literature, 4 for theater, and 1 foreducation .
The Pulitzer Prize then created an advisory board and changed the content of the award, which has now increased to 14 journalism categories and 7 art categories. Currently, each Pulitzer Prize is worth $15,000 (before 2017 it was $10,000) and comes with a medal.
