Which of the following newspapers won the 'Pulitzer Prize, 2021' in the prestigious public service category ?
Explanation
The 2021 Pulitzer Prize in the Public Service category was awarded to The New York Times. The Pulitzer Board honored the newspaper for its "courageous, prescient and sweeping coverage of the coronavirus pandemic."
- The coverage was cited for exposing racial and economic inequities and government failures in the U.S. and beyond.
- It also filled a critical data vacuum, providing information that helped healthcare providers, businesses, and individuals stay better protected.
- The Public Service award is the most prestigious Pulitzer category and is the only one that awards a gold medal to the winning organization.
Other winners in 2021 included the Star Tribune (Breaking News Reporting) for its coverage of George Floyd's death and The Atlantic (Explanatory Reporting) for Ed Yong's work on the pandemic.
