Here are the 2015 Pulitzer Prize winners
The winners of the prestigious Pulitzer Prizes were announced on April 20. The Pulitzer Prize is one of the highest awards given for works of journalism and the arts.
Bloomberg News won it’s very first Pulitzer, for extraordinary reporting. Congratulations, Bloomberg.
The New York Times won 3 Pulitzer prizes, 2 of them for reporting on the Ebola crisis in Africa, and the Los Angeles Times was a double winner, collecting Pulitzers in criticism and feature writing. 22 winners were picked from a pool of 1,200 journalism entries, 1,400 books, 200 music compositions and 100 plays.
In 2015, 6 women won individual Pulitzer awards, which is a great news last time that happened was all the way back in 2010. Last year, only 1 woman won in the journalism category, and the year before saw an all time low of no women at all.
