A Wall Street Journal Roundup
The Philadelphia Inquirer won the Pulitzer Prize for public service for its coverage of pervasive violence in the city's schools.
The Patriot-News in Harrisburg, Pa., won the Pulitzer in local reporting for breaking the Penn State sexual abuse scandal that eventually brought down legendary football coach Joe Paterno.
The Associated Press, meanwhile, won the prize for investigative reporting for a series of stories on a secret New York Police Department program that spied on Muslims.
A second investigative prize was awarded to Michael J. Berens and Ken Armstrong of the Seattle Times for their investigation of how a little known governmental body in Washington State moved vulnerable patients from safer pain-control medication to methadone, a cheaper but more dangerous drug, coverage that prompted statewide health warnings.
The New York Times won two awards. David Kocieniewski was given the prize for explanatory reporting for his series on how the nation's wealthiest citizens and corporations often exploit loopholes and avoid taxes. Jeffrey Gettleman won the prize for international reporting, for his coverage of famine and conflict in East Africa, a neglected but increasingly strategic part of the world.
David Wood of the Huffington Post was given the Pulitzer for national reporting for his exploration of the physical and emotional challenges facing American soldiers severely wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan during a decade of war.
Other website, Politico, received an accolade for its editorial cartooning, with Matt Wuerker winning that prize.
The Pulitzers, administered by Columbia University, are the most prestigious awards in journalism.
