A funny thing happened on the way to the airport...

Wow. I won the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for Illustrative Reporting and Commentating.

Thank you so much for all your comments and notes of congratulations!

I feel like I am late to my own party but I’m traveling overseas to to do presentations about Press Freedom and the time zones are really messing with me. Once I head again to the airport for the next leg of my trip, I’ll post some thoughts and photos for paid subscribers. And yes, I was in my lyft heading to the airport when I got the Pulitzer news.

Meanwhile, here’s what my lovely Norwegian hosts had waiting when I checked into my room.

*** and some more great news! Due to you all, my Substack Open Windows has reached 100,000 subscribers!!
