The Guardian was credited for “authoritative and insightful reports that helped the public understand how the disclosures fit into the larger framework of national security” and the Post for helping to “spark a debate about the relationship between the government and the public over issues of security and privacy.” Coverage of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings earned the Boston Globe staff a Breaking News Reporting Pulitzer for its “exhaustive and empathetic” coverage of the aftermath and manhunt. No award was given for Feature Writing.
