I can find no evidence that the New York Times has returned Duranty's Pulitzer.

Would you be interested in information about why some people think the
Times SHOULD return Duranty's Pulitzer?  I can also provide
information about why the Times says that it HASN'T returned the
prize.

I understand your question, but multiple sources indicate that the New
York Times has NOT returned Duranty's Pulizer.

Could you possibly mean: "Why DIDN'T ..."

This is what I got for my research assignment.
Could be just a made up que.

Let me see what u got.

Hello.

Numerous critics have said that the New York Times SHOULD return
Duranty's Pulitzer because Duranty's reporting in the 1930s covered up
details about a Ukrainian famine that killed more than 7 million
people.  Critics charge that Duranty deliberately reported false
information and collaborated with the Soviet government.

See:
Duranty's Deception; Walter Duranty won a Pulitzer Prize while
covering up the atrocities of Josef Stalin. Is the reluctance of the
New York Times to return the prize a result of the newspaper's own
failure to come to grips with its guilt? - Cover Story

In November 2003, the Pulitzer board decided not to revoke Duranty's
prize.  The New York Times agreed with that decision and has NOT
returned the prize.

Also see this article from two weeks ago:

" The New York Times won a Pulitzer for Walter Duranty's stories about
Stalin's Soviet Union.  Duranty was later exposed as a liar who
covered up the mass murder of millions, but his prize was not
returned. "

Also see this December 18, 2003 email from Mr Arthur Bovino of the New York Times:

"The Times has no plans to return the Pulitzer for Duranty's reporting."
