Pulitzer Prize 2020: From Colson Whitehead's second Pulitzer to first audio reporting award, full list of winners

The 2020 Pulitzer Prize winners were announced on 4 May through an online video, after being delayed for two weeks because of the coronavirus pandemic. Pulitzer administrator Dana Canedy talked about the “deeply trying times” amidst which the prizes were being announced, reminding of the importance of journalist and of how the arts continue to “sustain, unite and inspire.”

The Fiction prize was awarded to Colson Whitehead for his novel The Nickel Boys, about an abusive reform school in Florida, making it his second Pulitzer, having first won for his 2017 book The Underground Railroad. This year, a new prize for audio reporting was also introduced, and awarded to the This American Life podcast’s staff, along with Molly O’Toole of the Los Angeles Times and Emily Green, a Vice News freelancer, for the episode ‘The Out Crowd,’ about the impact of the Trump administration’s Remain in Mexico policy.
