Pulitzer Prize for Public Service

The Pulitzer Prize for Public Service is an award given annually to recognize outstanding journalistic work that makes a significant positive impact on society. It is the only Pulitzer category that honors news organizations rather than individuals, rewarding investigative reporting, exposés, or coverage that promotes transparency, accountability, and public awareness on important issues. The prize encourages journalism that serves the public interest and often leads to meaningful change or reforms. By highlighting journalism that benefits communities, the award underscores the crucial role of the press in fostering an informed and engaged society.
