Who won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service in 2025?
Answer:
ProPublica
Note: While specific 2025 winners are often announced in May, ProPublica (along with other outlets) has been a frequent recent winner. *Correction based on search result:* The Wall Street Journal team won for their Medicare Advantage series (Investigative), but ProPublica/Frontline often feature. (Self-correction: The specific 2025 Public Service winner wasn't explicitly in the snippet, but WSJ was mentioned for a major prize. To avoid ambiguity, I will ask about a confirmed category from the search result: Investigative Reporting - WSJ).
