The Pulitzer Prize Board announced winners and nominated finalists of the 108th Pulitzer Prize Monday.
Marjorie Miller, Administrator of the Pulitzer Prizes and the Vice President and Global Enterprise Editor at The Associated Press, announced the winners and finalists, which were awarded and designated on the recommendation of the Pulitzer Prize Board at Columbia University, according to a press release by the institution.
"The Pulitzer Prizes are more than journalism's esteemed honor," said Neil Brown, co-chair of the Pulitzer Prize Board. "They are a commitment to the highest standards of fairness, honesty and storytelling for those who pursue facts and reveal uncomfortable truths."
The Pulitzer Prize Board, on Thursday, also said it "recognizes the tireless efforts of student journalists across our nation’s college campuses, who are covering protests and unrest in the face of great personal and academic risk."
2024 Pulitzer Prize winners
Miller announced the 2024 Pulitzer Prize winners and nominated finalists via livestream on Monday.
"This year there was remarkable coverage of the Hamas attack on Israel and two wars in Gaza and Ukraine," Miller said before announcing winners in the field of Journalism. "There were tragic natural disasters in Hawaii and Turkey."
"The entries included many instances of workplace harm to employees, consumers and soldiers, hate crimes and criminal justice. Corruption and impunity and migration remained persistent themes in American life. And globally we saw stories on the proliferation of undemocratic uses of technology, along with the growing presence of AI in our lives."
