Congrats to the winners ([link removed]) of the 2022 Pulitzer Prizes!
Before the Pulitzers recognized the best in journalism, I had to remind myself what happened last year. Poynter's "Year in the News" video ([link removed]) gave me a quick refresh on the biggest events of a historic year that began with an attack on the U.S. Capitol and the democratic transfer of power.
(I also needed to remember how to pronounce "Pulitzer." ([link removed]) )
Collectively, we know what we know because journalists — including so many of you — do what they do. The Pulitzer Prizes highlight the best of the best, and it's a celebratory occasion ([link removed]) .
A fantastic vantage point to survey the impact of this year's winners is Tom Jones' analysis ([link removed]) for Poynter. My colleagues dug into some other stories, too, including the the all-out reporting effort of The Washington Post's Public Service Pulitzer ([link removed]) , how local news organizations punched above their weight ([link removed]) , the delightful and surprising win for Quanta Magazine ([link removed]) , the collaboration between Better Government Association and Chicago Tribune
([link removed]) that strengthened fire safety across the Windy City, and the story of one man’s incarceration and redemption — and the atypical relationship of a journalist and her source ([link removed]) .
After an afternoon of reporting on the prizes, my Poynter family gathered to toast our friends at the Poynter-owned Tampa Bay Times. Reporters Corey G. Johnson, Rebecca Woolington and Eli Murray won the Pulitzer Prize in the investigative reporting category for exposing dangers at a Tampa factory ([link removed]) , the state’s only lead smelter. Gratitude for brave sources, supportive leaders and dedicated resources came through in the reporters' speeches — and I went home with a renewed sense of thankfulness for the essential work of journalists. We are safer because of you!
Congrats to all the winners. Keep scrolling to find the support you need to do your best work this year.
