What does the past have to do with it? Have you paid attention to his recent work? He's reporting on things that virtually no one else is, e.g. leaks of calls between Ehud Barak and Eptsein as well as Israeli government involvement in wiring Epstein's residence in New York with cameras.
Not to disparage Ryan Grim at all. That's fabulous work. And grimly fascinating, because it means that Israel may have horrifying kompromat on active senior politicians. And the insights into the horrors of Israeli political sausage getting made pretty much confirms what was obvious already, but it's really nice to see a first-hand account. I get it. But given a choice between a 20 year old spy thriller involving a P…
It's all so obvious that the Israeli government was explicitly part of the epstein op huh? That's why NYT and WaPo don't report on these things? Yet they get a Pulitzer on an expose on Trump, who no one knew was a bad guy. Got it.
I don't think I've seen even a single mention in any mainstream news source that there is a risk the dirt that Israel has on trump is being used by Israel to blackmail him to do their bidding.

#34Journalists were eating well this year with Trump's never-ending scandals. WAPO's entire nominated work is about Epstein Files, some other winners had his money-making scheme off crypto and stock manipulation.
> WAPO's entire nominated work is about Epstein Files
No, it's not. But it is about Trump: https://www.pulitzer.org/winners/washington-post-4

Who do you think would be deserving of an outside-the-window Pulitzer?
Ryan Grim
For anything to do with Israel, you have to hope for posthumous awards and recognition in 50-100 years, but obviously everyone working on this topic is mostly aware they're doing a bad career decision, but the right thing.

Since you seem to know of his reporting, you probably have seen his work, or that of Drop Site, that falls squarely into the category of exposing the dystopia by reporting on a genocide, the profiteering from military contractors and Big Tech, the complaisance from world leaders, the corruption, the media bias.
You can hold the view that other issues (including the NBA) are more important, but pretending that criticism of Israel has any chance of being recognised by a Pulizer prize would be lying to yourself.

#37WaPo gets top billing as winners in the "Public Service" category. " How Jeff Bezos Upended The Washington Post " https://archive.ph/Je6AH Fascinating.
The winning stories were published before Bezos made the cuts. A good chunk of the writers in that collection aren't at the newspaper anymore. We'll see if the layoffs impact what they submit for next year's competition.

#38The conclusion that "insurance companies using algorithmic tools have failed Californians who lost their homes to fire by systematically undervaluing their properties" seems pretty dubious to me. Everyone is shooting the messenger by getting angry at the insurance companies when fire insurance isn't cheaper. Meanwhile many insurance companies are leaving California entirely. It isn't the "evil algorithms" at fault he…
Did you read the series?

#39Looks like the Oscars of reporting, mostly awarded to mainstream mouthpieces, ignoring any journalism of real depth that challenges anything outside the overton window.
> mostly awarded to mainstream mouthpieces
Small newsrooms you've never heard of have a history of winning Pulitzer prizes.

#40Pablo Torre and Julie K. Brown are the only truly deserving winners here. Anyone willing to break down and discuss the Epstein case is a real journalist and both of them have done exactly that. The Times and other major outlets were reticent to cover it, and have since routinely run puff pieces. Riley Walz and the folks at Jmail deserve a lot of credit as well.
One-track mind.
