Reuters staff was honored across multiple categories in this year's Pulitzer Prizes, which were awarded today.

Jeff Horwitz, a technology investigations reporter, with China correspondent Engen Tham, won the prize for beat reporting for a series of stories revealing how social-media behemoth Meta knowingly exposed users, including children, to harmful artificial intelligence chatbots and made billions of dollars from fraudulent ads on its Facebook and Instagram platforms. 

Reuters was also honored in the national reporting category for work that documented how the president used the U.S. government and the influence of his supporters to expand executive power and exact vengeance on his foes.

Our journalists also stood out as finalist in two categories: Illustrated Reporting and Commentary for the visual narrative of a multibillion-dollar digital scamming industry staffed with victims of global human trafficking, and Breaking News Photography for coverage of the wide-ranging immigration enforcement actions across the U.S.
