PETALING JAYA: Reporting on the Covid-19 pandemic was the most fulfilling and difficult challenge of his professional life, says Malaysian-born science journalist Ed Yong, who won the 2021 Pulitzer Prize. “I did my best to give our readers a stable platform from which to make sense of a crisis that defied sense. The 2021 Pulitzer Prizes were awarded for work during the 2020 calendar year. The awards highlighted coverage of the Covid-19 pandemic, racial unrest, and other major issues in the United States that year. I want to honour mine, ” said Yong, who has won countless other awards for his reporting.
