The New York Times has won 132 Pulitzer Prizes. It won its first award in 1918, and has since won more Pulitzer prizes than any other organization. The Pulitzer Prize is a prize awarded within the United States for excellence in journalism in a range of categories. First awarded in 1917, prizes have been awarded every year since, though not in every category. News organizations submit work, or series of works, for consideration to a 19-member board, which is composed of editors, columnists, media executives, artists, as well as academic administrators from Columbia University, which administers the prize.
