Post, Guardian Win Pulitzers for NSA Revelations
The Washington Post and The Guardian won the Pulitzer Prize in public
service Monday for revealing the U.S. government's sweeping surveillance
efforts in stories based on thousands of secret documents handed over
by National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden.
The Pulitzer for breaking news was awarded to The Boston Globe for its coverage of the deadly Boston Marathon bombing.
The awards are American journalism's highest honor.
The winning entries about the NSA's spy programs showed the government
has collected information about millions of Americans' phone calls and
emails based on its classified interpretations of laws passed after the
Sept. 11 attacks.
The disclosures touched off a furious debate in the U.S. over privacy
versus security and led President Barack Obama to impose limits on the
surveillance.
