Ed Yong / @edyong209: I'll be splitting the prize money between everyone who worked on my pieces last year—every editor, copy editor, fact checker, artist, and more. Even when individuals win Pulitzers, their work depends on a community. I want to honor mine.
Ken Schwencke / @schwanksta: Just gonna say that the COVID Tracking Project definitely deserved...something!
Kristen Hare / @kristenhare: California Sunday Magazine closed last year. It just won a Pulitzer. https://www.poynter.org/... #PulitzerPrize https://twitter.com/...
Katie Robertson / New York Times: Pulitzer Winners Include The New York Times and Buzzfeed News
Stat / @statnews: We're honored that @statnews, @HelenBranswell, @DrewQJoseph, and @sxbegle have been named @PulitzerPrizes finalists in breaking news reporting for their Covid-19 coverage. https://www.pulitzer.org/...

@tb_times: 🎉 @kmcgrory & @_neilbedi react to winning the Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting with Executive Editor @markkatches, “Targeted” series editor @adamplayford and Times Chairman Paul Tash while @ZackSampson reports. 📷 : @cliftimestweet (photojournalist for “Targeted") https://twitter.com/...
Newmark J / @newmarkjschool: It's official. #NewmarkJ alum Lisa Hagen '11 is a Pulitzer Prize winner. Congrats to @TwitrHagen and colleagues Chris Haxel, Graham Smith, and Robert Little on their win for “No Compromise,” an @NPR podcast and investigative series. @PulitzerPrizes👇 https://newmarkj.io/... https://twitter.com/...
@nytimes: The staff of The New York Times has won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for coverage of the pandemic. Here are the award-winning pieces. https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Waqas / @worqas: With all due respect to Pulitzer, btw, I went thru all Pulitzers in Journalism category since 1919 - and not a single Pulitzer has been awarded for coverage related to Palestine. https://www.pulitzer.org/... This omission, for one of the greatest issues of our time, is a astounding.
John Reinan / @stribguy: We won a Pulitzer Prize, and then I wrote a news brief about dog poop in Caledonia.
Kim Severson / @kimseverson: Here's that feature that just won a Pulitizer. It's a master class. https://www.runnersworld.com/ ...
Shane Savitsky / @ssavitsky: Congrats on the well-deserved Pulitzers, @TB_Times (@kmcgrory and @_neilbedi) and @StarTribune! Local newspapers aren't going anywhere, and Axios Local is proud to amplify the essential work you do in Tampa Bay and the Twin Cities.
Alex Weprin / The Hollywood Reporter: Coverage of America's Racial Reckoning and COVID-19 Lead 2021 Pulitzer Prize Class

Ed Yong / @edyong209: I count around 300 sources who took time to share their expertise with me during a year when we all had little time to spare. I learned SO MUCH from you all and I'm grateful to you for helping our readers.
Parker / @pt: I earnestly think there should be a journalist appreciation day. We can crap on them the other 364, but where would we be without these folks? https://twitter.com/...
@ericaperel: I would add: I was 30ish when I learned about the Wilmington massacre, despite growing up in NC, where TWO years of curriculum are devoted to NC study. We spent time learning about Blackbeard the pirate, the Swamp Fox, the Meck Dec, every possible theory for the Lost Colony.
Ed Yong / @edyong209: Reporting on the pandemic was the most fulfilling &difficult challenge of my professional life. I did my best to give our readers a stable platform from which to make sense of a crisis that defied sense. I'm sad these stories were ever necessary but I hope they made a difference.
James Myers / @arsetechnica: Guess there wasn't anything worth satirizing last year https://twitter.com/...
Matthew T. Hall / @sduncovered: Big shout out to @robrtgreene at our sister paper the @latimes for being awarded for editorial writing in the 2021 @PulitzerPrizes. Amazing accomplishment. https://www.pulitzer.org/... His winning editorials on policing, bail reform, prisons and mental health: https://www.pulitzer.org/...
Gabe Rivera / @gaberivera: @pt every day is “journalist appreciation day” on twitter, and every day is “crap on journalists day” on twitter, depending on your follows!
Vanessa Swales / @vanessa_swales: **EXCITING NEWS** So incredibly proud to have been a small cog in the wheel in a huge effort to cover this pandemic. I learnt so much from all @NYTNational staff & other desks! This Pulitzer should go to all newsrooms that have fought to report on & survive during this this time. https://twitter.com/...
@poynter: Each industry has its way of celebrating practitioners and the remarkable work they produce. For the journalism world, it's the #Pulitzer Prizes. Here's an inside look into the most prestigious prize in journalism. https://www.poynter.org/...
Dan Diamond / @ddiamond: Congratulations to all the Pulitzer winners and finalists, with a special shout to @HelenBranswell — both a terrifying competitor on the beat and an ever-gracious human being. https://twitter.com/...
Noah Smith / @noahpinion: Ed Yong is the best. This is the attitude everyone should take toward winning prizes, including Nobels! https://twitter.com/...
Bina Venkataraman / @binajv: So proud to learn of the @PulitzerPrizes finalist recognition for a series penned by my @GlobeOpinion colleagues Alan Wirzbicki & Shelly Cohen, on the history of discriminatory housing laws + a local battle for housing that became a model for the nation/1 https://www.poynter.org/...
Jonathan Eisen / @phylogenomics: I love Ed Yong. https://twitter.com/...
Waqas / @worqas: In fact the only time the word Palestine ever appears in Pulitzer prize winners list (including descriptions) was when an American journalist from the city called Palestine in Texas won an award in 2020.
@ericaperel: But we never learned about Wilmington. I remember how betrayed I felt. This is why the current efforts to censor the teaching of history are so concerning.
David Gelles / @dgelles: Too many individuals to name. Incredibly proud of all my colleagues at the @nytimes and in newsrooms around the country. Thank you for doing the work.
Jessica Kwong / Metro.co.uk: Teen who filmed George Floyd's murder awarded Pulitzer Prize special citation

Antonio Regalado / @antonioregalado: Ed Yong wins Pulitzer for explanatory reporting on covid-19. I can't tell you how many times editors during pandemic asked me to write like Ed, think like Ed, b Ed. But there's only one Ed. His stories have just one byline. No one else went so big so often. He truly crushed it. https://twitter.com/...
Jennifer Forsyth / @forsythjenn: The @WSJ is honored to be a finalist in National Reporting for our work on fatal decisions made at nursing homes, especially veterans homes, across the U.S. Reporters: @cdweaver @annawmathews @NoraEckert @JoelEastwood @djfroschWSJ @jon_kamp @elizabethrkoh https://www.pulitzer.org/...

Joseph Menn / @josephmenn: My Reuters colleagues have been awarded a Pulitzer in Explanatory Reporting for their pathbreaking work showing how the “limited immunity” concept has been twisted to shield brutal U.S. police from accountability.

Kathryn VanArendonk / @kvanaren: in which ed yong continues to be a legend https://twitter.com/...

@ap: .@EmilioMorenatti, @AP's chief photographer in Spain, won the feature photography Pulitzer Prize. He patiently built trust with elderly people to document the toll of the pandemic. https://apne.ws/X67vMFz
Karen K. Ho / @karenkho: Pretty notable that two freelancers won @PulitzerPrizes this year for feature writing, but one of them was for a magazine that was shut down. Freelancing is often incredibly difficult to financially manage. I hope the award gives them the recognition and breathing room they need.
Kate Harding / @kateharding: If you didn't already love Ed's work, now is the day to start. https://twitter.com/...
Hannah Sampson / @hannahbsampson: Best Pulitzer tweet of the day. Congratulations to Susan the beagle and also her person @kmcgrory https://twitter.com/...
Tom Gara / @tomgara: (And yes, @meghara won a Pulitzer for her amazing work in 2020, but this piece from 2017 was so far ahead of the curve on the most important story in the world https://www.buzzfeednews.com/ ...)
Joe Parkinson / @joewsj: 😃😃😃 to see two @WSJ Africa Bureau alumni recognised today by the Pulitzer committee. @drewhinshaw and @MatinaStevis, both finalists in International reporting. Very good journalists and very good people. https://www.pulitzer.org/...

Their tireless coverage of COVID-19 has been outstanding — and crucial for all wishing to better understand the pandemic and its global impact. https://twitter.com/...
Fatima Tokhmafshan / @denovo_fatima: Not only is he a brilliant #ScienceWriter, he is complete class act! If you're wondering what #allyship means, it's acts like this: when given a position of power and privilege, one uses that position to elevate and empower others, because no one ever works in vacuum #SciComm https://twitter.com/...
Cliff Levy / @cliffordlevy: Here's the great @Wesley_Morris, the moment that the announcement went out that he had won the Pulitzer Prize for criticism. 👏👏👏 https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Nora Eckert / @noraeckert: Pulitzer Prize finalists. This is a tremendous honor. I'll never forget the dozens of calls @cdweaver and I made to families of Menlo Park residents who died.

Jay Rosen / @jayrosen_nyu: Congratulations, Ed. I knew this was coming. And so did everyone else in journalism. You deserved to win the Pulitzer for explanatory reporting this year. https://twitter.com/...
Tom Gara / @tomgara: So well deserved, and just imagine the competition for an international reporting Pulitzer in *2020* https://twitter.com/...
Jay Rosen / @jayrosen_nyu: Waqas is a student of mine at NYU and he has a point. Thread. https://twitter.com/...
Alex Howard / @digiphile: One reason I like #PulitzerPrize day: it's a reminder to all Americans of what journalism & journalists are at their best, versus cable news punditry: investigative reporting, bearing witness, bringing facts & corruption to light, telling stories that enlighten, engage, & inspire
Casey Morell / @csymrl: there is something beautiful and tragic about this industry where a feature written for a now shuttered publication wins a pulitzer prize https://twitter.com/...
Non Fungible Tom Tomorrow / @tomtomorrow: to performatively give the prize to no one, rather than to one of the most brilliant people in this field, is a goddamn outrage.
Gordon Russell / @gordonrussell1: Shoutouts to all the Pulitzer winners today but especially to my old pals @bmccarthynews (of the Globe) and @1manueltorres (of Marshall Project) - both great journalists and all-around mensches. https://www.pulitzer.org/...
Gabriel Snyder / @gabrielsnyder: Congrats to all the winners of this year's Pulitzers! ... and there sure are a lot of them. The most prestigious award in journalism seems to have shifted from honoring individuals to institutions — and sometimes collaborations of multiple institutions https://www.pulitzer.org/...
Shirley Leung / @leung: So proud of my colleagues who just won the Pulitzer for investigative reporting. @EvanMAllen @lauracrimaldi @VernalColeman @bmccarthynews @mrochele https://www.pulitzer.org/...

Ed Yong / @edyong209: Years ago, my wife & best friend told me this would happen and I told them, stridently and at length, that it was completely and laughably beyond the realms of possibility. So: @lizneeley and @beck_smith are always right, and also I will *never* live this down.
Jess Zimmerman / @j_zimms: A mensch beyond the dreams of mensches https://twitter.com/...
Alex Howard / @digiphile: One will be hard pressed to find a classier, more humble journalist who's just won a Pulitzer than Yong. His extraordinary explanatory science journalism is worth the cost of subscribing to @TheAtlantic all on its own: https://www.theatlantic.com/ ... Congratulations, all! https://twitter.com/...
Meryl Kornfield / @merylkornfield: it was a draw https://twitter.com/...
Peter Lattman / @peterlattman: The Atlantic has won its first Pulitzer! Congratulations to the entire staff for all of its brilliant work in 2020. And while @edyong209 gets the hardware, a special shout-out to his editors @slaskow and @andersen, and editor in chief @JeffreyGoldberg.
Amaris Castillo / @amariscastillo: Just spoke to newly minted Pulitzer Prize winner @MitchSJackson. “I am stunned,” he told me about his win. “It really feels surreal.” https://twitter.com/...
Michael Brenner / @contentcontext1: Congrats to the team at @ReutersGraphics @Reuters @sarahslo and @fcage who put together an amazing piece on qualified immunity! Well deserved!!! ❤️❤️ ❤️ https://twitter.com/...
Alondra Nelson / @alondra: Congratulations to the great and righteous @edyong209 on his richly deserved 2021 Pulitzer Prize!

Kristen Hare / @kristenhare: It was one of more than 75 newsrooms that shut down during the pandemic https://www.poynter.org/...
Andrew Joseph / @drewqjoseph: This is wonderful, and I'm so grateful. But to me the coolest part is being recognized along with the legend @HelenBranswell, as well as Sharon, whom we miss so much. It is such a privilege and joy that I've had the chance to work with them, and to learn from them https://twitter.com/...
Non Fungible Tom Tomorrow / @tomtomorrow: an overlooked fun fact from last year is that the cartoon jury's three choices were rejected by the board in order to award the prize to someone employed by a prominent member of the board
Ed Yong / @edyong209: !!!!!!!! https://twitter.com/...
Kenneth Li / @kenli729: The Times coverage of the Pulitzers ignores Reuters' wins and Reuters coverage overlooks the Times's wins. Media 2021!
Jon Schleuss / The NewsGuild - CWA: Congrats, Pulitzer Prize winners and finalists!
Apoorva Mandavilli / @apoorva_nyc: I wonder if people realize what a phenomenal job these folks did to be a finalist in the category of breaking news, in competition while competing with HUGE newsrooms. https://twitter.com/...
@kellyannscott: What an unbelievable day. Congrats to our @aldotcom journalists @ChallenStephens, @aremkus1, @JoeSonger22 and our partners at @indystar, @MarshallProj and @invinst for winning the #PulitzerPrize in national reporting. Y'all are the best. Period. https://www.pulitzer.org/...

Ryan Mac🙃 / @rmac18: i love the internet https://twitter.com/...
Ben Smith / @benyt: One quick story about @meghara: After Chinese government refused to renew her visa, @MiriamElder & I met with gov't officials. They said we were welcome to send literally any other reporter — just not Megha. Who exposed Uighur camps from the outside in, & just won a Pulitzer.
Micah / @micahflee: This is amazing news and very well deserved! @alisonkilling @meghara and Christo Buschek just won the Pulitzer for exposing China's Xinjiang concentration camps where hundreds of thousands of Muslims are detained https://twitter.com/...
Laura Harth / @lauraharth: Amazing to see @BuzzFeed win a @PulitzerPrizes over its investigation into China's mass repression in #Xinjiang ! A prize not just for BuzzFeed's reporters but also an award to the continuing courageous work of those shining a light on #UyghurGenocide ! https://twitter.com/...
McKay Coppins / @mckaycoppins: I keep thinking about BuzzFeed circa 2012, when I joined @benyt, @RosieGray, @KFILE & @ZekeJMiller to start reporting on politics for a (wonderful) website that wasn't known for journalism. So many great reporters/editors have spent time there since then. I'm in awe of their work https://twitter.com/...
Jessica Lessin / @jessicalessin: Congrats to all the @PulitzerPrizes winners and especially @BuzzFeedNews on its first. The journalistic rise of such a great digital news outlet has always been inspiring to me and remains so. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/ ...
Rosie Gray / @rosiegray: I am verklempt https://www.buzzfeednews.com/ ...
Jaden Edison / Poynter: BuzzFeed News might have won the Pulitzer celebration contest with an empty newsroom. Here's the best of this year's commemorations.
B. Allen-Ebrahimian / @bethanyallenebr: SO THRILLED that @meghara @alisonkilling just won the PULITZER PRIZE for their incredible investigative series on mass internment camps in Xinjiang. I love it so much when the right people get the recognition they deserve. Congratulations!! https://www.buzzfeednews.com/ ...

Dara Moskowitz Grumdahl / @deardara: Extremely true record of newsroom office-culture in the wake of the pandemic: https://twitter.com/...
@yaqiu: Chinese govt kicked out @meghara and then she won a Pulitzer for China reporting from outside. This is encouraging in the sense that I hope journalists and researchers don't feel that if they get expelled they can no longer do exceptional work. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/ ...
Joe Brown / @joemfbrown: Throwin' it back to when we were all like, ‘wait, BEN from POLITICO is going to @BuzzFeed to start up a news operation?’ LMFAO. Congrats to @mat, your team, and everyone at @BuzzFeedNews. Save a beer for @benyt? https://twitter.com/...
Tom Namako / @tomnamako: BuzzFeed News won its first Pulitzer Prize for its innovative series exposing China's mass detention of Muslims. Congrats to @meghara @alisonkilling and Christo Buschek https://www.buzzfeednews.com/ ... First installment here: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/ ...

Megha Rajagopalan / @meghara: Am so grateful to our team, to @BuzzFeedNews, @alexcampbell & the organizations that supported us. Most of all I'm grateful to ex-detainees who told us what happened to them inside Xinjiang's camps. The public owes much to their courage. Still much more work to be done. https://twitter.com/...
Andrea Pitzer / @andreapitzer: Congratulations! I hope this will keep the world's attention on Chinese policies of detention, forced labor, and physical abuse against the Uyghur population in Xinjiang. https://twitter.com/...

Hayes Brown / @hayesbrown: OH MY GOD CONGRATS!!! https://twitter.com/...
Zach Basu / @zacharybasu: Much deserved.

Michael Moran / @themichaelmoran: This isn't even half dodgy. https://www.ft.com/...
@stefgotrebooted: When journos try to wash their hands of the influence the media has over public opinion, they never have an answer as to why a ruthless businessman like Rupert Murdoch would tolerate subsidising an asset like this on his books if it weren't for that influence. https://twitter.com/...
Alan Ferrier / @alanferrier: There's a wee factoid in the middle of this article that goes some way towards explaining the bin fire in which we all now find ourselves: “After 42 years as the UK's best-selling newspaper, The Sun lost its title to the Daily Mail last year.” https://www.ft.com/...
Bill Grueskin / @bgrueskin: “Other one-off charges included £80m of legal costs relating to the phone hacking scandal, including £52m of fees and damages paid to civil claimants.” https://twitter.com/...
Janine Gibson / @janinegibson: Well now https://twitter.com/...
Robert Smith / @bondhack: The Sun isn't worth the paper its printed on, per the latest from @alexebarker https://www.ft.com/...
Michael Socolow / @michaelsocolow: Writing down the value of media assets is just classic accounting fiction. For example: NBC claimed it *lost* money on NBC News when the “Huntley-Brinkley Report” was earning the most advertising of any show on U.S. television ($27 million in 1966). https://content.time.com/... https://twitter.com/...
