GQ, New York Mag, and The New Yorker Win Pulitzer Prizes

Three magazines were earned Pulitzer Prize winners Monday afternoon as part of the 102nd class of honorees, the fourth since the nation’s top journalism honors were first expanded to include glossies in addition to newspapers.

The New Yorker‘s Ronan Farrow—whose reporting on Harvey Weinstein’s history of sexual assault and cover-ups were integral to the subsequent national discourse around the #MeToo movement—shared honors in the Public Service category with New York Times reporters Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey. Last month, Farrow’s work similarly earned The New Yorker a National Magazine Award for Public Interest.

Elsewhere in the 2018 class, GQ can now call itself a Pulitzer Prize winner. Freelance reporter Rachel Kaadzi Ghansah won in the Feature Writing category for “A Most American Terrorist,” her August 2017 deep dive on Charleston church shooter Dylann Roof. Ghansah’s piece had also been recognized with a National Magazine Award last month.

Jerry Saltz earned New York magazine its first Pulitzer Prize, in the Criticism category. Saltz, who has been the magazine’s art critic since 2006, was credited for “a robust body of work that conveyed a canny and often daring perspective on visual art in America.”
