Upon winning the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Broadway hit Hamilton became the first musical to do so since 2010’s Next to Normal. William Finnegan’s memoir Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life nabbed the Pulitzer in the Biography or Autobiography category, while The Associated Press won the gold medal for Public Service.
Other publications honored as a whole include The Los Angeles Times (Breaking News Reporting), The New York Times (International Reporting), The Washington Post (National Reporting) and the Tampa Bay Times (Local Reporting). The New Yorker also picked up its first two Pulitzers for Criticism (Emily Nussbaum) and Feature Writing (Kathryn Schulz) following a 2015 decision to expand certain categories to include magazines.
