Journalism’s most prestigious honors were announced today at Columbia University, where the Pulitzer Prizes were awarded.
Dana Canedy, the Pulitzer administrator, complimented the work of this year’s Pulitzer Prize winners, saying they are doing the work the founding fathers intended—protecting freedom of speech.
“Their work is real news of the highest order, executed nobly as journalism was always intended, without fear or favor,” said Canedy, who made news herself this year as the first woman and first African American to serve as a Pulitzer administrator.
Among the winners were The New York Times and The New Yorker for their work exposing allegations of sexual abuse against Harvey Weinstein as well as The Washington Post for its coverage of former Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore.
