New York Times Leads Pulitzers as InsideClimate Wins First

The New York Times led the Pulitzer Prizes with awards in four categories, including investigative reporting, while InsideClimate News won for the first time for its coverage of regulation of oil pipelines. The New York Times also was awarded for explanatory reporting, international reporting and feature writing. InsideClimate News, based in Brooklyn, New York, was given the prize for national reporting. Javier Manzano, a freelance photographer, won the prize for feature photography for an image of two Syrian rebel soldiers. The Sun Sentinel of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, won in the public service category for its investigation of reckless speeding by police officers. InsideClimate, a non-profit, online news organization, won for its reporting on the “flawed regulation” of the nation’s oil pipeline, according to the Pulitzer committee. This is the fourth time a digital-only news organization has won journalism’s most esteemed prize.
