ProPublica received the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for its series, 'Life of the Mother,' addressing the deadly implications of strict abortion laws. Reporters Kavitha Surana, Lizzie Presser, and Cassandra Jaramillo uncovered how vague laws led to delayed care for pregnant women, resulting in tragic outcomes. This consecutive win highlights the newsroom's commitment to tackling overlooked issues in society. Surana emphasized the importance of raising awareness about these laws' consequences, while editor Alexandra Zayas praised the team's hard work and dedication to the subject matter, reinforcing the significance of their investigations.
We undertook this reporting because no one else was looking into the consequences of these laws, in this detail. And we're going to continue to do it.
This recognition is just so meaningful because it means more people can become aware of the consequences of these laws, and we'll be able to keep looking into these cases.
I have been proud of them all along, but now I'm thrilled that everybody else recognizes and is celebrating the hard work and relentlessness of what they have done.
It's a consecutive Pulitzer win in the same category for the nonprofit newsroom, showcasing their impactful investigative journalism.
