Pulitzer Winners in Photography Announced
8 May 2023
Among the Pulitzer Prizes announced today were two photography honors in the categories of Breaking News and Feature Photography, each of which carry awards of $15,000.
BREAKING NEWS
Awarded to the Photography Staff of Associated Press for unique and urgent images from the first weeks of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, including the devastation of Mariupol after other news organizations left, victims of the targeting of civilian infrastructure and the resilience of the Ukrainian people who were able to flee.

Ukrainian emergency employees and police officers evacuate injured pregnant woman Iryna Kalinina, 32, from a maternity hospital that was damaged by a Russian airstrike in Mariupol, Ukraine, March 9, 2022. "Kill me now!" she screamed, as they struggled to save her life at another hospital even closer to the front line. The baby was born dead and a half-hour later, Iryna died too.

Nominated as finalists in Breaking News Photography in 2023 were:
Rafiq Maqubool and Eranga Jayawardena of Associated Press for a compelling visual narrative documenting public fury over Sri Lanka's economic collapse, including clashes between protesters and police, the takeover of government buildings and jubilation as protesters occupied the plush presidential mansion.
Lynsey Addario of The New York Times for her single image of a Ukrainian mother, her two children and a church member splayed on the street of a Kyiv suburb after a mortar shell exploded on a "safe passage" route-a photograph that clearly showed that Russia was targeting civilians.
FEATURE PHOTOGRAPHY
Awarded to Christina House of the Los Angeles Times for an intimate look into the life of a pregnant 22-year-old woman living on the street in a tent-images that show her emotional vulnerability as she tries and ultimately loses the struggle to raise her child.

Gabrielle Lurie and Stephen Lam of the San Francisco Chronicle for their painstaking documentation of fentanyl addiction in the city that led officials to create supervised drug consumption locations and voters to approve an oversight commission for the homeless hotels where 40% of overdoses occur.
