Pulitzer 2022

 

“I will take pride in helping to safeguard the prizes at a time when truth, facts and books are under assault. And I will fight just as hard to make sure that a free press will continue to hold the powerful to account and expose injustice. I also look forward to celebrating the beauty and humor that are just as essential to life.”

—Marjorie Miller, veteran journalist, “Journalist Marjorie Miller is Elected Administrator of the Pulitzer Prizes,” Pulitzer.org., March 30, 2022.

Note: Pulitzer Prize Administrator Marjorie Miller will announce the 2022 winners and finalists on Monday, May 9, at 3 p.m. EDT.
