Photographer Adrees Latif of Reuters won a Pulitzer for his photograph of a Japanese videographer, sprawled on the pavement, fatally wounded during a street demonstration in Myanmar.
Preston Gannaway of the Concord (N.H.) Monitor won the Feature Photography Pulitzer for her chronicle of a family coping with a parent’s terminal illness.
Bob Dylan, pictured above, also was presented with a special citation for “his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power.”
