The Pulitzer Prize celebrates 100 years in 2017, following a century of acknowledging excellence in journalism, literature and musical composition. This year’s win marks Morin’s second Pulitzer, following his first award in 1996.

The Orlando Sentinel was also a 2017 finalist in the category of ‘Breaking News Reporting’ for their coverage of the violent attack on Pulse nightclub in Florida in June last year.

Musical theatre icon Stephen Sondheim, playwright Tennessee Williams, astronomer Carl Sagan and poet Robert Frost all rank as past recipients of the coveted award.
