Eight of the Pulitzer Prizes awarded to newspapers were for stories about the
terrorist attacks and events that followed. Pulitzer officials said no other news event
was ever so widely represented in the competition. Unlike other years, all the
journalism winners were major newspapers.
The New York Times won a record seven Pulitzer Prizes for its work last year.
In the past, no newspaper has received more than three of these awards in the same
year. Six of the seven awards involved the attacks and the United States-led war on
terrorism in Afghanistan. For example, New York Times writers won the Pulitzer
Prize for explanatory writing. Their winning stories told about terrorists and their
activities around the world.
The New York Times also won the public service award. The prize honored a
part of the newspaper called “A Nation Challenged.” These pages told what happened
after the attacks. Every day, the section contained a full page with short stories about
the people who died in the attacks. “A Nation Challenged” also reported the progress
of the war on terrorism.
Barry Bearak of the New York Times won the international reporting prize. He
was honored for his stories about conditions and life in Afghanistan. New York
Times writer Thomas L. Friedman won the Pulitzer Prize for commentary -- reports
that express opinion. Mr. Friedman wrote about the effects of the terrorist threat on
the world. Mr. Friedman won two earlier Pulitzer Prizes for his international
reporting from the Middle East.
Pictures in the New York Times also received awards. Its photographers won
the Pulitzer Prize for pictures of news events in progress. The winning pictures
showed how the destruction of the World Trade Center affected New York City.
Pulitzer Prize judges also honored New York Times photographers for feature
pictures of people in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The judges said the winning pictures
showed the people’s suffering and their strength.
The New York Times writer Gretchen Morgenson won the Pulitzer Prize for
reporting a very different subject. She was honored for her business reporting. She
told about stock market experts who advise investors. Ms Morgenson showed that
some of these experts do not provide complete and honest information to investors.
The Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times each won two Pulitzer Prizes
for journalism. Bob Woodward and seven other Washington Post writers won the
national reporting prize. Their stories explored the war on terrorism.
Three other Washington Post reporters shared a Pulitzer Prize. Scott Higham,
Sari Horwitz and Sarah Cohen were honored for investigative reporting. They wrote
about the deaths of two hundred twenty-nine children in the District of Columbia.
The children were under the legal protection of the city when they died. The reporters
showed how courts and social agencies failed to protect these children.
