The New York Times has won the most Pulitzer Prizes by far, at 109, including the five received in 2011. The newspaper with the second best record is The Washington Post, with 57; the Los Angeles Times, with 39; and the Wall Street Journal, with 34. The Chicago Tribune, Boston Globe and Miami Herald have also won a respectable number of Pulitzer Prizes for journalism. The Associated Press, which is not a newspaper but a news service, has won 49 Pulitzers since 1917, mostly for photography.

[Count includes all Journalism award categories including editorial Cartoons, photography and Public Service.]
