The Pulitzer Prize winners were announced today. Here's a Flipboard Storyboard with the full list, plus some of the prizewinning stories, photos and illustrations. One particularly noteworthy winner is Ann Telnaes, who was awarded for her career as the Washington Post's editorial cartoonist — she left the paper in January after 17 years when her cartoon lampooning tech billionaires bowing down to Donald Trump was rejected by opinions editor David Shipley. We were delighted to see a win for @ProPublica's "Life of the Mother" series on abortion bans. It's the second consecutive Pulitzer in the "public service" category for one of our favorite #NewstodonFriday contributors.

Her cartoon, showing #JeffBezos and others paying #convictedFelon #DonaldTrump for favor, was rejected for being critical of #WaPo's owner.

It would be a shame if this Washington Post censored cartoon would be out and about in the world. The artist is Ann Telnaes.

Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Ann Telnaes (who is amazing) has quit the Washington Post because the editors killed her editorial cartoon poking fun at the CEOs and tech-bros (including Jeff Bezos) prostrating themselves before Trump.
Here, in her own words, is the reason she quit:
