CWA Journalists Rack Up Accolades Across the Globe

CWA journalists have taken home a slew of awards recently.

Last week, members of the Pulitzer Prize Board announced the 2026 recipients of the prestigious award. NewsGuild-CWA members at the Washington Post (TNG-CWA Local 32035) and the New York Times (TNG-CWA Local 31003) won awards for Public Service reporting and for Investigative Reporting, respectively. Journalists at the Post won their award for “piercing the veil of secrecy around the Trump administration’s chaotic overhaul of federal agencies,” while Times reporters won for “deeply reported stories that exposed how President Trump has shattered constraints on conflicts of interest and exploited the moneymaking opportunities that come with power.” Members from The Minnesota Star Tribune, San Francisco Chronicle, Reuters, and more publications were also awarded the top prize in journalism.

For the National Newspaper Awards in Canada, CWA Canada members took home awards in categories including breaking news, local reporting, best photo story, and project of the year. Canadian members also received the honor of being finalists in several other categories.

Finally, last week brought the announcement that NewsGuild-CWA President Jon Schleuss earned a seat on the Executive Committee of the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) during the IFJ’s World Congress in Paris, France. Schleuss will represent journalists across North America. Delegates also elected a new president from Peru, vice presidents from Palestine, Canada, and Tunisia, and a treasurer from Italy.

Congratulations to all of the CWA members and President Schleuss on well-deserved victories for journalistic excellence!
