Hearst Wins Two Pulitzer Prizes: Esquire & Houston Chronicle
San Francisco Chronicle Named Finalist in Both National & Local Reporting Categories
Columbia University announced the 2025 Pulitzer Prizes, awarded on the recommendation of the Pulitzer Prize Board:
In the Feature Writing category: Mark Warren, contributor, Esquire
“For a sensitive portrait of a Baptist pastor and small town mayor who died by suicide after his secret digital life was exposed by a right-wing news site.”
In the Editorial Writing category: Raj Mankad, Sharon Steinmann, Lisa Falkenberg and Leah Binkovitz of the Houston Chronicle
“For a powerful series on dangerous train crossings that kept a rigorous focus on the people and communities at risk as the newspaper demanded urgent action.”
The San Francisco Chronicle (Jennifer Gollan and Susie Neilson) was named a finalist in National Reporting as well as in Local Reporting (Katey Rusch and Casey Smith, contributors, in collaboration with the University of California, Berkeley Investigative Reporting Program).
