Associated Press wins Pulitzer award for public service
The Associated Press won the Pulitzer Prize for public service Monday, for a series that exposed slavery and vicious abuse in the Southeast Asia fishing trade, leading to the release of 2,000 captives and broad reforms in an industry that is a major supplier of seafood to the United States.
The New York Times won the prize for international reporting, for Alissa Rubin’s examination of the abuse and injustice faced by women in Afghanistan.
[...] four photographers for the Times won the breaking news photography prize for “Exodus,” a searing collection of images of migrants seeking asylum in Europe, sharing that award with Thomson Reuters.
The Los Angeles Times won the breaking news prize for its coverage of the deadly shooting rampage by husband-and-wife extremists at a government building in San Bernardino, and the Washington Post received the national reporting award for an examination of killings by police in the U.S.
In an honor that was widely predicted, the musical “Hamilton,” a hip-hop retelling of the Founding Fathers story, received the prize for drama.
