The staff of The Washington Post won the 2022 Pulitzer Prize public service medal for its coverage of the causes, costs and aftermath of the Jan. 6 attack, showing how the forces behind the siege are shaking the underpinnings of democracy.

The Post also had finalists for 2022 Pulitzer Prize awards in three categories: investigative reporting, national reporting, and illustrated reported and commentary:

  • Hannah Dreier and Andrew Ba Tran were finalists in investigative reporting for a series that revealed in unstinting human terms how FEMA is struggling in its increasingly urgent mission to help America’s disaster survivors in the age of climate change and stark inequality, prompting congressional action and policy overhauls.
  • The pandemic exposed an ugly truth: Communities of color disproportionately suffer from poor health. The staff of The Washington Post was a finalist in national reporting for revealing pollution’s role in this crisis and exploring the environmental justice movement.
  • Castigating the powerful, highlighting the absurdity of modern politics and championing the powerless: the genius of Ann Telnaes, a finalist for illustrated reporting and commentary.
