Indian journalists Anand RK and Suparna Sharma are awarded the Pulitzer Prize in the Illustrated Reporting and Commentary category for their reporting on cyber fraud and digital surveillance. The Pulitzer Prizes, announced on Monday by Columbia University, recognise their work titled “trAPPed,” produced for Bloomberg and described by the Pulitzer Prizes website as a visual and narrative account focused on a neurologist in India. The reporting depicts how the doctor is held under a “digital arrest” through her phone, using a combination of visuals and words to illustrate wider challenges tied to surveillance and scams. The award also highlights concerns about growing digital fraud, including how individuals are targeted through online and mobile channels. Anand and Sharma share the Pulitzer Prize with Natalie Obiko Pearson of Bloomberg. The Pulitzer Prizes are presented annually and are widely regarded as among the most prominent honours in journalism and other fields. Sources consistently note the same category, the same credited reporters, and the same Bloomberg-produced work.
