The Washington Post’s staff won the Pulitzer Prize for breaking news reporting for the comprehensive coverage of the July 13 attempt to assassinate Donald Trump in Butler, Pa.

This included coverage from photographer Jabin Botsford, who was just a few feet from Trump near the stage and remained in his position through the chaos. In addition to feeding back compelling photographs, he also recorded live video.

The same night, The Post published a gripping dispatch by reporter Isaac Arnsdorf and Botsford describing the chaos at the fairground, a more vivid and detailed description than other news organizations at that hour.

Other outstanding work honored in the category included in-depth visual forensics around security failures and audio investigations that elevated new details from the event.

The Pulitzer Prize for illustrated reporting and commentary goes to @anntelnaes.bsky.social, for various works that appeared in The Washington Post. This is her third Pulitzer recognition.

The Post’s staff also received a Pulitzer finalist nod in national reporting for coverage that helped awaken the nation to the disaster of Hurricane Helene, revealing the scale of the destruction and human toll for the climate-fueled weather calamity.

The Post’s @jerrybrewer.bsky.social was named a Pulitzer finalist in Commentary for for his set of four reported essays tracing how sports, once a unifying American connector, have instead become a platform for grievance, debate and division.

Anything for bootlicking Bezos and Trump?

You guys are pure sleaze for trying to share in credit for the work of a person you forced out for actually doing the job she was supposed to be doing. I'm so glad I cancelled my subscription months ago. You'll never get it back.
