The Washington Post wins three Pulitzer Prizes
A series on the AR-15's cultural and political impact won for national reporting. Imprisoned columnist Vladimir Kara-Murza and editorial writer David Hoffman were also honored. The New York Times also won three prizes, and the New Yorker won two.
"Another finalist, in the illustrated reporting and commentary category, was "Searching for Maura," a beautifully rendered visual telling of the story of an 18-year-old Suyoc Igorot woman from the Philippines who died after coming to the United States to be put on display at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. After she died, a portion of her brain was taken by the director of physical anthropology at the Smithsonian Institution's U.S. National Museum, who used human body parts to test his theories about biological differences between races."
