About Us
Pulitzer on the Road is the public outreach initiative celebrating the work of Pulitzer Prize winners with audiences across the country.
Each year, The Pulitzer Prizes honor 23 remarkable achievements in journalism, books, drama, and music that portray our shared experiences, examine critical times, and expand our understanding of each other.
Started in 2023, Pulitzer on the Road connects you to the extraordinary storytellers behind the prize-winning works through engaging conversations across the country -- through live events, a podcast, and a future traveling exhibition. Audiences can have a firsthand look at the winners' work process, the obstacles they overcame, and the consequential stories they brought to light.
