The New York Times has won 135 Pulitzer Prizes. It won its first award in 1918, and has since won more Pulitzer prizes than any other organization. [1]
The Pulitzer Prize is a prize awarded within the United States for excellence in journalism in a range of categories. First awarded in 1917, prizes have been awarded every year since, though not in every category. News organizations submit work, or series of works, for consideration to a 19-member board, which is composed of editors, columnists, media executives, artists, and academic administrators from Columbia University, which administers the prize [2]
In 1980, The Pulitzer Prizes began noting finalists for each category, alongside the full prize winners. The New York Times and its reporters have been named more than a dozen times as finalists.[ citation needed ]
As new reporting adds additional perspective to previously-reported topics, the quality and even the veracity of some reporting comes under question.
