Pulitzer Prize institution support for students covering news of American protests
The Pulitzer Prize Board recently issued a statement commending journalism students who have reported on the recent protests supporting Palestine at American universities. Recognized as the most prestigious journalism award in America and administered by Columbia University, the Pulitzer Prize Committee took time to acknowledge the efforts of these student journalists, who have taken significant personal and academic risks to cover these events.
The statement highlighted the exceptional work of Columbia University’s student journalists, awarding them with a Pulitzer Prize decision for their outstanding reporting. The Pulitzer Board expressed appreciation for all journalism students who, despite facing potential dangers such as arrest, have maintained a commitment to press freedom by covering a major national news event. This year, which marks the 180th edition of the Pulitzer Prizes, will see the announcement of winners in journalism and literature on May 6.
