AP wins Pulitzers for Ukraine coverage

And the prize goes to. Associated. Applause The recognition from the Pulitzer's this year is particularly meaningful, because they've recognized the very essence of who we are. AP journalists and really the whole of the AP staff, no matter what department you work in, at your core, you're mission driven. And you're motivated by the belief that journalism is a public service. Our AP journalists who were in Mariopole were really essential to the world starting to understand what the human toll of this war was in its early days. They also provided a counterweight to Russian disinformation about the war.

And their reporting ultimately was responsible for helping open up humanitarian corridors out of Mariopole. It's just a true public service. And they remain deeply committed to making sure that the world doesn't forget about what's happening in Mariopole and to its people to this day. Photography stands. Applause.
