The Pulitzer Prize for Audio Reporting is one of the Pulitzer Prizes for American journalism. It recognizes distinguished reporting on a radio program or podcast.
History
The award was announced in December 2019, and given for the first time in 2020.[1]
"for The Out Crowd, revelatory, intimate journalism that illuminates the personal impact of the Trump Administration's 'Remain in Mexico' policy."[2][3]
"for an investigative series on 'no compromise' gun rights activists that illuminated the profound differences and deepening schism between American conservatives."[4]
"for their compelling, accessible and empathetic stories on the complicated war and threats to democracy in East Africa, an area of the world that rarely gets sustained coverage."
"for Southlake, a riveting and insightful account of an anti-critical race theory movement in a Texas community, a phenomenon that has reverberated through school districts across the country."
"for Broken Doors, a powerful examination of the human toll of no-knock warrants across the country, using the voices of police, judges and the victims of the surprise raids, reporting that led to policy changes and, in one case, to prosecutors dropping a death penalty request."
"for a visceral documentary recorded behind the closed doors of an abortion clinic, allowing listeners to hear conversations between practitioners and patients, and the controversial procedure itself."
"for their gripping and extensively reported investigation of corruption and sexual abuse within the lucrative recovery industry that sought accountability despite legal pressure."
"for their In the Dark podcast, a combination of compelling storytelling and relentless reporting in the face of obstacles from the U.S. military, a four-year investigation into one of the most high-profile crimes of the Iraq War—the murder of 25 unarmed Iraqi civilians in Haditha."
"for Hysterical, a fascinating series that traced the outbreak of a mysterious and apparently contagious nerve disorder in Upstate New York that largely affected young women, and the frustrating efforts to identify it."
