The Post and Courier of Charleston, South Carolina, won the Pulitzer Prize for public service Monday for an examination of the deadly toll of domestic violence, while The New York Times collected three awards and the Los Angeles Times two.
The Seattle Times staff took the breaking news award for its coverage of a mudslide that killed 43 people and its exploration of whether the disaster could have been prevented.
The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal both won investigative reporting prizes, the Times for an examination of lobbyists' influence on state attorneys general, the Journal for a project that showed readers previously confidential information on the Medicare payment system.
The Times' coverage of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa won Pulitzers for international reporting and feature photography. The Los Angeles Times' prizes were for feature writing on the effects of California's drought and for Mary McNamara's television criticism.
