Other prizes went to The New York Times for reports on the lives of misery suffered by Afghan women and the Thomson Reuters news agency for its photographs of refugees.
Author Joby Warrick won the non-fiction prize for his book Black Flags: The Rise of ISIS, and the prize for fiction went to Vietnamese-born Viet Thanh Nguyen, author of The Sympathizer -- an acclaimed novel set after the fall of South Vietnam in 1975.
