Columbia University on Monday announced the 2025 Pulitzer Prize winners, honoring journalism that captured a turbulent and consequential year, from the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania to armed conflict and geopolitical unrest around the globe.

Prizes were awarded across 15 journalism categories and 8 in the arts, according to a May 5 announcement. The prestigious Public Service gold medal went to ProPublica for the second year in a row, while The New York Times led all outlets with four Pulitzers, followed by The New Yorker with three, and The Washington Post with two—including one for its breaking news coverage of the Trump assassination attempt.
