Reuters won two Pulitzer Prises on Monday (May 6), taking home the breaking news photography award for searing images of the Israel-Gaza conflict as well as the national reporting award for a series of investigations into Elon Musk's manufacturing empire.

ProPublica won the coveted public service award for stories detailing undisclosed gifts and trips that US Supreme Court justices, particularly Clarence Thomas, accepted from wealthy donors. The New York Times and the Washington Post each captured three prises.

The annual Pulitzers, first presented in 1917, are the most prestigious honours in US journalism.

Reuters photographers — often working at great risk to their personal safety — produced what the Pulitzer jurors called "raw and urgent" images documenting the early days of the war between Israel and Hamas, which began with the militant group's early-morning Oct 7 attack in Israel that killed 1,200 people.
