The 110th Pulitzer Prize winners were announced Monday.
Pulitzer Prizes—the highest honor in journalism, established by newspaper publisher Joseph Pulitzer in 1917—were awarded in 25 categories, including reporting, photography, books, and music. Awards went to:
- The Washington Post, winning the top “public service” prize for reports on DOGE and federal layoffs;
- The NYT, for investigative stories on President Trump’s “moneymaking opportunities” like TrumpCoin and photography of the Gaza humanitarian crisis (see photos);
- A Texas reporter for his “personal account” of the July 2025 Central Texas floods;
- And the “Pablo Torre Finds Out” podcast for breaking the LA Clippers’/Kawhi Leonard salary-cap scandal.
Awards for works with higher word count (aka books) included Daniel Kraus’s Angel Down (fiction) and Jill Lepore’s We the People (history). See all Pulitzer picks here.

Verse to consider whether your day-to-day work is being judged by prize boards or only seen by you… “Whatever you do, do it from the heart, as something done for the Lord and not for people, knowing that you will receive the reward of an inheritance from the Lord. You serve the Lord Christ.”
Colossians 3:23-24 (CSB) (read full passage)
