New York Times wins 4 Pulitzers, New Yorker 3; Washington Post wins for coverage of Trump shooting
NEW YORK — The New York Times won four Pulitzer Prizes and the New Yorker three on Monday for journalism in 2024 that touched on topics like the fentanyl crisis, the U.S. military and last summer's assassination attempt on President Donald Trump.
The Pulitzers' prestigious public service medal went to ProPublica for the second straight year. Kavitha Surana, Lizzie Presser, Cassandra Jaramillo and Stacy Kranitz were honored for reporting on pregnant women who died after doctors delayed urgent care in states with strict abortion laws.
The Washington Post won for 'urgent and illuminating' breaking news coverage of the Trump assassination attempt. The Pultizers honored Ann Telnaes, who quit the Post in January after the news outlet refused to run her editorial cartoon lampooning tech chiefs — including Post owner Jeff Bezos — cozying up to Trump.
The Pulitzers honored the best in journalism from 2024 in 15 categories, along with eight arts categories including books, music and theater. The public service winner receives a gold medal. All other winners receive $15,000.
The Times' Azam Ahmed and Christina Goldbaum and contributing writer Matthieu Aikins won an explanatory reporting prize for examining U.S. policy failures in Afghanistan. The newspaper's Doug Mills won in breaking news photography for his images of the assassination attempt. Declan Walsh and the Times' staff won for an investigation into the Sudan conflict. Alissa Zhu, Nick Thieme and Jessica Gallagher won in local reporting, an award shared by the Times and The Baltimore Banner, for reporting on that city's fentanyl crisis.
The New Yorker's Mosab Abu Toha won for his commentaries on Gaza. The magazine also won for its 'In the Dark' podcast about the killing of Iraqi civilians by the U.S. military and in feature photography for Moises Saman's pictures of the Sednaya prison in Syria.

Los Angeles protests turn violent; Trump deploys hundreds of National Guard troops: What triggered the outrage?
AP photo Tensions flared in Los Angeles on Sunday as demonstrators clashed with police and set cars ablaze, protesting a series of immigration raids and the controversial deployment of National Guard troops by United States President Donald Trump. The unrest marked the third consecutive day of protests in California's most populous city. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations, which resulted in the arrests of several individuals alleged to be undocumented immigrants and gang members, have sparked outrage in the city's large Latino community. The daylight raids and the federal response have only added fuel to the fire. A car burns during a protest in Compton, Calif., Saturday, June 7, 2025, after federal immigration authorities conducted operations. (AP photo) California Governor Gavin Newsom condemned Trump's move to bypass state authority and activate National Guard units without his consent. 'We didn't have a problem until Trump got involved,' Newsom wrote on X (formerly Twitter). 'This is a serious breach of state sovereignty — inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they're actually needed. Rescind the order. Return control to California.' A protestor is detained in downtown Los Angeles, Sunday, June 8, 2025, following last night's immigration raid protest. (AP photo) Here are the top 10 things to know about the LA protest: Protesters torched vehicles and disrupted traffic, while law enforcement responded with flash-bangs and smoke grenades to disperse crowds from key areas. At least three self-driving Waymo vehicles were set on fire, with two others vandalised, highlighting anger at both immigration policy and Silicon Valley's presence. A major freeway was blocked for over an hour as protesters took to the roads before being pushed back by the California Highway Patrol . Soldiers from California's 79th Infantry Brigade were stationed across the city, wearing full camouflage and armed with live rounds, prompting criticism that their presence was more about intimidation than order. Trump defended his decision, suggesting a broader deployment of troops may follow. He also hinted at invoking the Insurrection Act, which permits military use in domestic unrest. US Northern Command confirmed that around 500 Marines were in a "prepared to deploy" state to support federal operations if needed. Leading Democrats, including former Vice President Kamala Harris, slammed the deployment as a "dangerous escalation meant to provoke chaos". House Speaker Mike Johnson defended Trump's action, accusing governor Newsom of failing to maintain law and order in the state. Many demonstrators said the Guard's presence was a scare tactic. 'These protests have been peaceful,' protester Thomas Henning told news agency AFP. 'It's intimidation, plain and simple," he added. Despite the unrest, a CBS News poll taken before the protests showed that a slight majority of Americans supported the ongoing immigration crackdown.

'Tired, Stressed': Errol Musk Blames ‘PTSD' For His Son's Public Fallout With Donald Trump
Last Updated: According to Errol Musk, the two individuals have been under stress for the past five months, with the bill serving as the breaking point that escalated their tensions. Tech billionaire Elon Musk's father, Errol Musk has claimed that his son's outburst against US President Donald Trump was a result of 'PTSD' incurred during his time in the White House, adding that his son erred by confronting Trump, who he believed was ultimately going to win their contentious dispute. The senior Musk made the remark in Moscow, where he is expected to address a forum organised by Vladimir Putin's closest aides. The Tesla CEO and the Republican leader had a bitter, public fall out after the former criticised the Trump administration's recent 'Big, Beautiful Bill." 'So they had an argument about that [bill], and as they are all suffering from a bit of PTSD, a post-traumatic stress disorder over the last few months, they started hitting out at each other," Errol Said as reported by Metro. 'But unfortunately, he doesn't realise that in order to get their votes in the Senate and the Congress, Trump has to do that," he added. According to Musk Sr, the two prominent figures had been under considerable stress for the past five months, with the bill serving as the breaking point that escalated their tensions. 'They are the only two people left in the arena, Trump and Elon, and all they were used to was fighting with the opposition. They've been under a lot of stress for five months. And it gives them a break. You know, they've had to get rid of all the opposition, try and put the country back on track, and do normal things and so forth," Errol said. Musk-Trump Feud Once close allies, Donald Trump and Elon Musk are now locked in a public feud that has rapidly escalated. The fallout began after Musk strongly criticised Trump's sweeping tax and domestic policy bill, calling it a 'disgusting abomination". What began as a policy disagreement quickly became personal, with both sides exchanging insults online and in private meetings. Musk even resurfaced old quotes from Trump and GOP leaders about spending and deficits, further fuelling tensions. In response, Trump suggested severing federal ties with Musk's companies. Just weeks ago, Musk was still being honoured as a trusted advisor to the administration; now, the relationship appears to have completely broken down. First Published: June 09, 2025, 07:44 IST
