Pittsburgh journalists donate Pulitzer money to Tree of Life Synagogue

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette will donate the $15,000 that came with its Pulitzer Prize for its coverage of the Tree of Life Synagogue Shooting to the congregation.

• The newspaper found out it had won back on April 15, 2019.
• However, staffers weren’t quite sure what to do with the $15K that came with the honor.
• They didn’t feel right splitting it among the staffers who had worked on the coverage.
• So, the publisher suggested donating it to the congregation so they could use it toward rebuilding their synagogue.
