976 Archivesprestigious Pulitzer Prizes were announced Monday afternoon for accomplishments in journalism, but long before the winners were revealed the New York Timeswas acting like it had already won.

Near the front of Monday's paper it included a small segment with details about a Facebook Live interview with its 2017 winners, as Poyntercalled out.

The post from the paper said, "How does it feel to get a Pulitzer Prize? Ask The Times's recently announced 2017 winners yourself..." It went on to plug the Live session with the winners.

The NYTtold Poynterit was "a mistake, combined with a little bit of hopeful thinking."

The paper went on to win as a team in the international reporting category, while writer C.J. Chivers scooped one for feature writing. The paper also picked up an accolade for breaking news photography.

As the Associated Press reports, news organizations often get wind of their wins before they are officially announced.
