The 2024 Pulitzer Prizes were awarded to the New Yorker staff writer Sarah Stillman first-time contributor Medar de la Cruz.
Sarah Stillman, a staff writer, won in the explanatory-reporting category for her illuminating investigation of felony murder, a draconian legal doctrine that has sent thousands of Americans—disproportionately young and Black—to prison, sometimes for life, for killings they didn’t commit. “It’s truly one of the cruellest ideas in the American legal system,” one person told Stillman. “And most people don’t even know it exists.
Stillman, a 2016 MacArthur Fellow, teaches investigative reporting at Yale and created the Global Migration Project at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism. De la Cruz, a graduate of the ArtCenter College of Design, teaches visual communications at community workshops in New York City and is working on a graphic novel about his experiences on Rikers Island. His Pulitzer-winning New Yorker contribution was his first submission to the publication.
