NEW YORK (AP) ? The New York Times won four Pulitzer Prizes on Monday, including the award for investigative reporting for stories that detailed how Wal-Mart used bribery to expand in Mexico.
The Sun Sentinel in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., was awarded the public service Pulitzer for its reporting on off-duty police officers' reckless driving.
The Pulitzer in breaking news photography went to The Associated Press for its coverage of the civil war in Syria.
A New York-based online nonprofit news organization that covers energy, InsideClimate News, won the Pulitzer in national reporting for stories on flawed regulation of the nation's oil pipelines.
The Pulitzers, journalism's highest honor, are given out each year by Columbia University on the recommendation of a board of journalists and others. Each award carries a $10,000 prize except for the public service award, which is a gold medal.
The Times, which has won more Pulitzers than any other news organization, was also honored for international reporting for detailing the wealth of relatives of top officials in China's communist party; for explanatory reporting, for a look at business practices of Apple and other technology companies; and for feature writing, for an account of skiers killed in an avalanche in Washington state that wove in multimedia elements.
The Pulitzer in breaking news reporting went to The Denver Post for its coverage of the shooting a movie theater last summer in Aurora, Colo., that left 12 people dead.
The Star Tribune of Minneapolis won two awards: It was honored in the local reporting category for its coverage of a spike in infant deaths in poorly regulated day care centers, and Steve Sack won for editorial cartooning.
