The Pulitzer
Prize Board is
standing behind its decision to award the 2018 National Reporting Pulitzer
Prize jointly to The New York Times and The Washington Post for their coverage "on Russian
interference in the U.S. election and its connections to the Trump
campaign," according to a statement released
by the board on Monday.
"The
Pulitzer Prize Board has an established, formal process by which complaints
against winning entries are carefully reviewed," the statement read.
In the past three
years, the board said it has received inquiries about the two newspapers' joint
Pulitzer, including from former President Donald Trump.
"These
inquiries prompted the Pulitzer Board to commission two independent reviews of
the work submitted by those organizations to our National Reporting
competition," the board said. "Both reviews were conducted by
individuals with no connection to the institutions whose work was under
examination, nor any connection to each other."
"The
separate reviews converged in their conclusions: that no passages or headlines,
contentions or assertions in any of the winning submissions were discredited by
facts that emerged subsequent to the conferral of the prizes," the board
added.
Trump wrote
the board last October to dispute the media outlets' awards,
saying that the prizes were "based on false reporting of a non-existent
link between the Kremlin and the Trump Campaign."
"As has been
widely publicized, the coverage was no more than a politically motivated farce
which attempted to spin a false narrative that my campaign supposedly colluded
with Russia despite a complete lack of evidence underpinning this
allegation," the former president wrote. "It has since been confirmed
that the allegations were false and I have been exonerated of these
charges."
"For over a
century, the Pulitzer Prize has been widely recognized as a significant
achievement in the field of journalism," Trump continued. "It has
been viewed by many as an honor that is meant to be bestowed upon
well-deserving recipients in recognition of their groundbreaking journalistic
efforts. Given this powerful presumption, there is a heavy burden to ensure
that these works are continuously and closely examined as to the veracity of
the information contained therein."
When asked about
the matter, the board released a statement
to The Hill, saying, "The Pulitzer Board has a standing process
for reviewing questions about past awards, under the guidelines of which
complaints are considered by an appointed committee."
At the end of
October, Trump followed his letter with a statement, saying,
"These Pulitzer Prizes for totally incorrect reporting have become
worthless and meaningless."
The New York
Times and The Washington Post jointly won the coveted Pulitzer Prize in 2018
for "relentlessly reported coverage in the public interest that
dramatically furthered the nation's understanding of Russian interference in
the 2016 presidential election and its connections to the Trump campaign."
