The Pulitzer Prize Board has issued a statement recognizing the "tireless efforts" of student journalists covering the campus protests across the U.S., highlighting the "great personal and academic risk" they faced. They mentioned specifically the journalists at Columbia University where the Pulitzer Prizes are housed. “In the spirit of press freedom, these students worked to document a major national news event under difficult and dangerous circumstances and at risk of arrest,” they said. Here's more from The Hill.
The board specifically recognized the work of #StudentJournalists at #ColumbiaUniversity, where the Pulitzer prizes are located, for documenting the events on campus as #NewYorkPolice raided student-led encampments on 30 April. #Israel #Gaza

A #PulitzerPrize-winning political #photographer resigned Tues from the board of the #FordFoundation, blasting the group for #cowardice in rejecting #Trump critic #LizCheney as the recipient of its top yearly award.
#DavidHumeKennerly claimed that Cheney’s nomination for the Gerald R #Ford Medal for Distinguished #PublicService was nixed largely out of #fear that Trump would #retaliate against the org if he’s reelected.

There are so many stories worthy of the skill of the The New York Times Visual Investigation teams. That sadly is a testament to the difficult times we're living through.
I was curious as to how Malachy Browne and his #PulitzerPrize winning team decided which stories to focus on. Delighted to have had the opportunity to ask the question

An especially powerful passage (and there are many) from #PulitzerPrize winner #AnnieErnaux's I Remain in Darkness. "For the first time, I have a clear picture of what her life must be like in this place, in between my visits; the meals in the dining room, the waiting. I am accumulating bags of guilt for the future. But letting her stay at my place would have meant the end of my life. It was either her or me. I can remember the last sentence she wrote: 'I remain in darkness.'"
@Wikipedia I wonder how many #scientists and other intellectual #liberals are on #TrumpsList ? (You *know* he has one, and keeps adding to it!)
Btw, there’s certainly a #PulitzerPrize awaiting those who leak it!
