The New Yorker Wins Three 2025 Pulitzer Prizes

The awards honor Mosab Abu Toha’s commentary on the devastation in Gaza, Moises Saman’s photographs of Syria after Assad, and the third season of the investigative podcast In the Dark.

The New Yorker was named the winner of three Pulitzer Prizes for work focused on the effects of war throughout the Middle East. The Palestinian poet and writer Mosab Abu Toha received the award for commentary, for four essays documenting the lives and suffering of Palestinians in Gaza. The photographer Moises Saman won the award for feature photography, for images depicting the horrors of the Assad regime in Syria. And the staff of In the Dark, The New Yorker’s investigative podcast, received the award for audio reporting, for the show’s third season, which examined the 2005 massacre of civilians by U.S. Marines in Haditha, Iraq.

The three prizes are the most ever won by a magazine in a single year. The New Yorker has now won eleven Pulitzer Prizes, including a gold medal for public service. Read the full announcement on The New Yorker.

The New Yorker's wins were covered by The New York Times and AP News.
