In 2016, the Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting was awarded to An Unbelievable Story of a Rape by T Christian Miller of ProPublica and Ken Armstrong of The Marshall Project “for a startling examination and exposé of law enforcement’s enduring failures to investigate reports of rape properly and to comprehend the traumatic effects on its victims”.
This category of the Pulitzer Prize is given to journalistic writing that “illuminates a significant and complex subject, demonstrating mastery of the subject, lucid writing and clear presentation.”
