Pulitzer board awards ‘special citation’ to journalists covering Gaza

The 2024 Pulitzer Prize Special Citation has been awarded to “journalists and media workers covering the war in Gaza”.

The board of the prestigious awards did not name specifically “Palestinian” journalists – a record number of whom have been killed by the Israeli military in Gaza since the start of the war.



Conservative US judges boycott Columbia graduates over campus protests

A group of 13 conservative US federal judges promise they will not hire law students or undergraduates from Columbia University due to pro-Palestinian protests on campus.

In a letter to Columbia President Minouche Shafik and Law Dean Gillian Lester, the judges, all appointed by former US President Donald Trump and most based in Texas, called for “serious consequences” for students and faculty who participated in demonstrations.

“Both professors and administrators are on the front lines of the campus disruptions, encouraging the virulent spread of anti-Semitism and bigotry,” the letter reads.

The university earlier on Monday cancelled its main graduation ceremony due to the ongoing protests.
