Wall Street Journal only multiple Pulitzer winner

Thirteen news organisations shared the honours in the journalism categories at the annual Pulitzer Prizes, which covered a wide variety of subjects in a year when no single event dominated the front pages. A live jazz recording won in the music category for the first time.

Also for the first time, the Pulitzer Prize Board pulled a play – Rabbit Hole - out of the hat for the drama award after three finalists approved by the jury in that category failed to attract the necessary majority of board members.
