The chair of the prestigious Pulitzer Prize Board, Dana Kennedy, announced the names of the winners from her living room through a live broadcast via YouTube rather than a ceremony usually held at Columbia University in NY. And after last year’s awards were marked by its focus on Donald Trump and 2018 on sexual harassment and the # Me2 movement, this year’s Pulitzer Prize was unremarkable.
The New York Times won three awards, including a report from Brian Rosenthal’s survey of the New York fare transportation community, which highlighted the presence of loans that exploit vulnerable drivers. The newspaper also received the Best International Report Award for a series of articles on the regime of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
A long article by Nicole Hana-Jones won the “Best Comment” award in which she examined American assets from the point of view of enslaved Africans. The Bullitters Awards are the most prestigious awards for journalists or organizations based in the United States.

The Corriere-Journal newspaper in Lexington, Kentucky won the award for the latest news on its coverage of last-minute pardons issued by State Governor Matt Pevin for death row inmates.
