2019 Pulitzer Prize Honors Reporting on Gun Violence, Trump, Rohingya
---------------------------------------------------------------------

And this year's Pulitzer Prize recipients were announced Monday in New
York City. Reporting on gun violence figured prominently with the South
Florida Sun-Sentinel winning an award for its coverage of last year's
massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida,
and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for its breaking news coverage of the
mass shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue. Reporters from the The New
York Times and The Wall Street Journal were recognized for their
reporting on President Trump. Click here to see our interview with David
Barstow of The New York Times on how Trump built his fortune through tax
dodging and fraud. Jailed Reuters reporters Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo were
also honored for "expertly exposing the military units and Buddhist
villagers responsible for the systematic expulsion and murder of
Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar." Reporters Aaron Glantz and Emmanuel
Martinez were finalists for their exposé of racial discrimination in
mortgage lending. Click here to see our interview with Aaron Glantz.
