via The Winners of the 2026 Pulitzer Prizes
<p>A mere 124 days into 2026, we have finally tied a bow on the 2025 book award season. The Pulitzer Prize, which celebrate excellence in journalism, literature, drama, and music within the United States, were announced this afternoon in a ceremony live-streamed from Columbia University. </p>
<p>Before announcing the winners, Administrator Marjorie Miller reiterated the Pulitzers’ full-throated commitment to and support for the First Amendment and a free press:</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>Let me begin by saying what we shouldn’t have to say: the Pulitzer Prizes support the First Amendment. We believe in access to government institutions and an independent press. We stand for civil discourse and against censorship. Unfortunately, this bears repeating now, as media access to the White House and Pentagon is restricted, free speech is challenged in the streets, and the President of the United States has filed lawsuits for billions of dollars for defamation and malice against multiple print and broadcast media.</p>

<p>Here are the books that won the 2026 Pulitzer Prizes: </p>
