Online outlet BuzzFeed won its first Pulitzer – in the international reporting category – for coverage of prison camps built by China for mass detention of Muslims. Reuters was honored in the same category for an examination of the legal doctrine of qualified immunity and how it is used to shield police from prosecution.
"The Night Watchman" by Louise Erdrich was awarded the prize for fiction while "Wilmington's Lie: The Murderous Coup of 1898 and the Rise of White Supremacy" by David Zucchino was honored for non-fiction.
