The war in Gaza was a dominant theme in the final Pulitzer judging, with a Special Citation awarded to journalists covering the conflict. The Board emphasized the courage and sacrifices made by these individuals to document the stories of the people in Gaza, acknowledging the loss of valuable records of human experience.
The International Federation of Journalists reported more than 100 journalists killed in Gaza since Oct. 7. This staggering number underlines the dangers and risks faced by journalists in conflict zones, particularly in regions like Gaza where reporting can be life-threatening.
The Pulitzer Prizes recognized the significance of the war in Gaza by awarding major categories like International Reporting and Breaking News Photography to coverage of the conflict. The New York Times was acknowledged for its comprehensive reporting on Hamas' attack in Southern Israel, reflecting the pivotal role of journalism in documenting such events.
