Jeff Bezos Instagram – The Pulitzers’ gold medal prize for public service isn’t given to an individual but to the entire organization. Huge kudos and congrats to the whole Washington Post team! Repost from @washingtonpost • The staff of The Washington Post won the 2022 Pulitzer Prize public service medal for its coverage of the causes, costs and aftermath of the Jan. 6 attack, showing how the forces behind the siege are shaking the underpinnings of democracy. The prize, considered journalism’s highest honor, recognizes the work of more than 100 journalists across The Post’s newsroom, many of whom contributed reporting from the Capitol grounds that day, as well as others who investigated the security failures that contributed to the events of Jan. 6, the human costs of the attack and the larger ramifications for the nation. The resulting three-part series provided penetrating coverage of the failures that led to the attack and illustrated how the forces behind that assault remain potent and growing, undermining the faith many Americans have in the integrity of elections — and laying the groundwork for battles yet to come.
