Here are the winners of the 2023 Pulitzer Prizes
For more than 100 years, the Pulitzer Prizes have been awarded by Columbia University to honor American achievements in journalism2, letters and drama, and music. Pulitzers are widely recognized as the most prestigious3 awards in their field within the United States.
The 107th Pulitzer prizes celebrated4 journalists across the country. The Associated Press won two awards for its coverage5 of the war in Ukraine, including the most prestigious of all Pulitzers, the Public Service award.
The Washington Post won two Pulitzers, as did the Los Angeles Times. So did Al.com, Birmingham. Its columnist6 Kyle Whitmire won the Commentary award for his work analyzing7 Alabama's confederate heritage. The publication also took home a Local Reporting Pulitzer for its series exposing malfeasance on the part of the local police force. Two awards were given in that category. The other Local Reporting Pulitzer went to Mississippi Today, in Ridgeland, Miss. Reporter Anna Wolfe's reporting revealed a former governor's corruption8.
The New York Times won two Pulitzers as well, for International Reporting and for Illustrated9 Reporting and Commentary.
Caitlin Dickerson, whose reporting career began at NPR, won a Pulitzer for explanatory reporting for her work for The Atlantic. She reported on migrant families separated at the southern border and the abuses many of them suffered.
This year, in an unusual but not unheard of decision, the fiction award went to two books: Demon10 Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver and Trust by Hernan Diaz.
And while the book His Name Is George Floyd: One Man's Life and the Struggle for Racial Justice, by Robert Samuels and Toluse Olorunnipa (Viking) was only a finalist in the biography category, it won a Putlizer in the the General Nonfiction category, almost exactly three years after its subject's murder.
Here are the 2023 winners:

Drama

History
"Awarded to Freedom's Dominion53: A Saga54 of White Resistance to Federal Power, by Jefferson Cowie (Basic Books), a resonant55 account of an Alabama county in the 19th and 20th centuries shaped by settler colonialism and slavery, a portrait that illustrates56 the evolution of white supremacy57 by drawing powerful connections between anti-government and racist ideologies58."
Biography
"Awarded to G-Man: J. Edgar Hoover and the Making of the American Century, by Beverly Gage59 (Viking), a deeply researched and nuanced look at one of the most polarizing figures in U.S. history that depicts60 the longtime FBI director in all his complexity61, with monumental achievements and
