The Pulitzers hit this afternoon, and The Dallas Morning News got a nod as a finalist in the category of Breaking News Reporting for its coverage of the July 7 ambush on police officers during a Black Lives Matter protest. The committee noted the paper’s “timely, vivid, and heartbreaking accounts of the horrific night” that ended with five officers killed and several others wounded.

The entry included 10 pieces, including a timeline of the evening as well as profiles of the victims, a deep-dive into who the shooter was, a writeup on a black ER surgeon who spoke frankly of his complex relationship with police, and an exploration of race relations in the Southern Dallas neighborhood of Dixon Circle. You can read them all here.

The East Bay Times got the win, for its “relentless” reportage in the aftermath of a fire at a DIY venue in Oakland that killed 36 people. The Orlando Sentinel was a fellow finalist for its coverage of the mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub. Congratulations to The News staff.
