Ann Telnaes, Who Resigned From The Washington Post After Trump Cartoon Was Rejected, Wins Pulitzer Prize


Telnaes' cartoon depicting Trump was rejected.

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.” At the time she left the Post, Telnaes wrote, “The cartoon that was killed criticizes the billionaire tech and media chief executives who have been doing their best to curry favor with incoming President-elect Trump.” The judges wrote that the play, “about the complex dynamics and legacy of an upper middle class African-American family whose patriarch was a key figure in the Civil Rights Movement,” was “a skillful blend of drama and comedy that probes how different generations define heritage.”
