Washington Post wins 3 Pulitzers

The Washington Post won three Pulitzer Prizes on Monday, including one for reporting on the consequences of changing abortionlaws, and another for a series of intimate portraits illuminating the societal toll of the pandemic.

“His Name Is George Floyd,” a book written by reporters Robert Samuels and Toluse Olorunnipa, also won a Pulitzer for best general nonfiction. The biography built upon reporting for a 2020 Post seriesthat intertwined a deeply personal biography of Floyd with an exploration of the racial inequities that shaped his life, reports Washington Post.

Journalism published by The Post was also honored in five prize divisions as Pulitzer finalists. The total of eight honorees is the largest for The Post since 2002.
