Bloomberg has won the 2026 Pulitzer Prize for Illustrated Reporting and Commentary for “trAPPed,” an investigation in graphic novel form documenting a widespread digital scam in India that has devastated hundreds of thousands of lives.
The saga of a neurologist kept under “digital arrest” for eight days was illustrated by Anand RK and reported by Suparna Sharma and Natalie Obiko Pearson. The award for “trAPPed” marks Bloomberg News’ third Pulitzer Prize and its first for a team based in Asia.
“We are honored that the Pulitzer Board recognized this example of deeply reported public service journalism, published in an inventive format,” said Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait. “Both the intensive reporting into this ruinous scam and the use of the graphic- novel-style medium to bring the story to life are extraordinary achievements by the team.”
