The award is considered one of the most prestigious US awards in literature, journalism, music and theater.
The award is named after Joseph Pulitzer, who founded it in 1917. Since then, the Pulitzer Prize has been awarded to hundreds of journalists in May each year. The Pulitzer Prize Board selects juries whose role is to recommend Columbia University nominees for the award.
The Pulitzer Committee is made up of 19 members, including leading journalists, media executives and academics.

Ukrainian journalists Chernov and Maloletka received an award in the category “For service to society” for their work during the siege of Mariupol, in particular, they published a report from the Mariupol maternity hospital, which came under Russian shelling.
After the start of the military operation by Russia, Maloletka was one of the few photojournalists who worked in Mariupol. He said that he arrived in the city an hour before the start of full-scale fighting, after which he lived with doctors and ordinary citizens in shelters for 20 days. His photograph from the Mariupol maternity hospital won another prestigious journalism award in April, the World Press Photo.
In the category “International Reporting” about the events in Bucha during the Russian invasion, the award was given to journalists from The New York Times, in particular, to the Ukrainian Stas Kozlyuk. The editors published the corresponding article and video at the end of December; journalists relied on video camera recordings, drone footage and eyewitness testimony.
