Photos, cartoons, public service reporting

NEW YORK » The New York Daily News and ProPublica won the Pulitzer Prize for public service Monday for uncovering how police abused eviction rules to oust hundreds of people, mostly poor minorities, from their homes.

In a year when the tumultuous presidential campaign dominated U.S. news, David A. Fahrenthold of The Washington Post was honored with the Pulitzer for national reporting for exposing questionable practices at Donald Trump’s charitable foundation. The award for commentary went to Peggy Noonan of The Wall Street Journal for columns that the judges said “connected readers to the shared virtues of Americans during one of the nation’s most divisive political campaigns.”

The New York Times’ staff received the international reporting award for its work on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s efforts to project Moscow’s power abroad. Times writer C. J. Chivers won the feature writing award for a story about a Marine’s descent into violence after returning home from war, told “through an artful accumulation of fact and detail.”

Winners ranged from journalism partnerships spanning hundreds of reporters to small newspapers. Art Cullen of The Storm Lake Times, a twice-weekly, 3,000-circulation family-owned paper in Iowa, won the editorial writing award, with the judges saying his “tenacious reporting, impressive expertise and engaging writing” successfully challenged powerful corporate agricultural interests in the state.

In troubled times for newspapers, “the work that wins Pulitzer Prizes reminds us that we are not in a period of decline in journalism. Rather, we are in the midst of a revo- lution,” with new partnerships, technology and media taking the field in new directions, prize administrator Mike Pride said.

The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, McClatchy and the Miami Herald — which amassed a group of over 400 journalists to examine of the leaked “Panama Papers” and expose the way that politicians, criminals and rich people stashed case in offshore accounts — won the Pulitzer for explanatory reporting.

Eric Eyre of The Charleston Gazette-Mail won the investigative reporting prize for writing about the scourge of opiate painkillers in poor parts of West Virginia.
