Watch: The Minnesota Star Tribune wins the Pulitzer Prize for its coverage of the Annunciation shooting.

In a note to the newsroom, masthead editors said:

“Your journalism stood out on that miserable day, and in the many since, for the emotion it channeled. Great journalism makes people feel something, and this newsroom has produced more of it in the past year than any we know. …

As we receive this recognition, we are all thinking about the Annunciation families who trusted us with their stories and their pain. We are also deeply grateful to our subscribers for paying for journalism that makes an impact. And we’re inspired every day by the professionalism and care you bring to this essential work.”

The Minnesota Star Tribune won the Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News for its newsroomwide coverage of a shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic church last summer. Marjorie Miller, administrator of the Pulitzers, said in announcing this year’s awards on May 4 that the coverage included “powerful stories marked by thoroughness and compassion.”

In its application to the Pulitzer board for work produced in 2025, the Star Tribune noted the newsroom decided early on that the shooting would not be quickly forgotten by the masses as another American tragedy. Instead, the staff would “hold up Annunciation’s pain and ask our readers to reckon with it.” Several reporters live in the south Minneapolis neighborhood near the school or attend mass at Annunciation. One editor’s child was in the service.

“For the journalists in our newsroom, it was personal and up-close,” said Kathleen Hennessey, editor and senior vice president of the Minnesota Star Tribune. “I’d be crazy to say in a newsroom full of parents, it didn’t hit a certain nerve.”
