Snowden Reporting Wins Pulitzers

The Washington Post and The Guardian U.S. have both been awarded Pulitzer Prizes in the Public Service category for their reporting on the National Security Agency based on the work of Edward Snowden. "This newsroom will not be intimidated by power," the Post's executive editor Marty Baron said. The Boston Globe staff won under breaking news reporting "for its exhaustive and empathetic coverage of the Boston Marathon bombings and the ensuing manhunt that enveloped the city," and Chris Hamby of The Center for Public Integrity took the prize for investigative reporting.
