NEW YORK (AP) — The Pulitzer Prizes will be awarded Monday to honour outstanding journalism during a violent year that includes Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine, mass shootings that targeted an elementary school and supermarket, and communities beset with floods and flames fuelled by climate change.

The winners will be announced during a livestream beginning at 3pm EDT. 

The Pulitzers honour the best stories in journalism from 2022 in 15 categories, as well as eight arts categories focused on books, music and theater.

The public service prize winner receives a gold medal. All other winners receive $15,000.

The prizes were established in the will of newspaper publisher Joseph Pulitzer and first awarded in 1917.
