Ann Telnaes, Who Resigned From The Washington Post After Trump Cartoon Was Rejected, Wins Pulitzer Prize
Ann Telnaes, who quit the Washington Post after her editor killed her cartoon mocking cowardly oligarchs (including Post owner Jeff Bezos), has won the Pulitzer!
If’s the second Pulitzer for Telnaes, but I’m guessing this victory was especially delicious for her. And for those of us who are partial to free specch, it’s a cause for celebration. Congratulation Ann!
Telneas was recognized for “delivering piercing commentary on powerful people and institutions with deftness, creativity – and a fearlessness that led to her departure from the news organization after 17 years.”
