The 2023 Pulitzer Prizes, announced yesterday ([link removed]) , offer classic narratives familiar to any journalist.
The industry honored those who held power to account ([link removed]) . Who put their own lives at risk ([link removed]) to show the world the atrocities of war. Who enlightened ([link removed]) and educated ([link removed]) us. Who showed us that local news matters ([link removed]) .
"This year, the storytelling is once again inspiring and extensive, yet one word describes these amazing efforts: brave," said Poynter president and Pulitzer Prize board co-chair Neil Brown in introducing the winners during a livestream ([link removed]) . "From hidden corners in a schoolhouse, to the bombed-out apartments of terrified families, to nature's farthest reaches, journalists took us places that most of us can't go, and opened our eyes to events most of us aren't able to see."
Senior media writer Tom Jones wrote in his extensive Pulitzer wrap-up ([link removed]) , "Where bad government exists, good journalism is necessary, and we saw just how critical local journalism was in this year’s Pulitzers."
The Pulitzers offer a chance for journalism to celebrate ([link removed]) , and to reflect ([link removed]) .
But fundamentally, these awards offer journalists an opportunity to stand up a little taller. We take pride in the fact that we belong to an industry that demands accountability from the powerful, shines a light into unseen corners of the world, and plays a critical force in upholding American democracy.
Read on for training opportunities that celebrate and build on those traditions.
