The Pulitzer Prize awarded to NYT and New Yorker: main themes of the winning works.

This year at the Pulitzer Prize ceremony, the awards were generously shared between The New York Times and New Yorker. The editorial team of The New York Times took home four awards, while New Yorker celebrated three. And it's no wonder – their materials touched on issues like the fentanyl crisis, assassination attempts, and illegal gold trading.

A standout was the piece by The New York Times journalist Declan Walsh from Sudan, who decided to conduct an interview on the scene. In journalism, the renowned poet Mosab Abu Toha once again triumphed and brought his reflections to New Yorker.

Another journalist who quickly reported on the assassination attempt on Trump also received special recognition. Another award went to cartoonist Ann Telnes for her bravery in showcasing the truth, even after a conflict with her editorial team.

Pro Publica received recognition for its in-depth investigation of abortions in the USA, while The Wall Street Journal won in the 'National Reporting' category. The awards ceremony was not only festive but also reminded us of the important tasks facing modern journalism in the United States.

It is crucial to remember that in times of global wars and political instability, the role of independent media is extraordinarily high - they can become essential pillars of democracy and freedom of speech.
