The Los Angeles Times won five - breaking news (for the California fire, covered by 90 reporters), US national reporting, editorial writing, criticism and feature photography - the second-highest total in the 87-year history of the awards, administered by Columbia University.

In the arts, Edward P Jones won the fiction prize for The Known World, about a black slave owner. In history, the winner was Steven Hahn for A Nation Under Our Feet, on black political struggles in the rural south. Anne Applebaum's Gulag won general non-fiction, while William Taubman's Khrushchev won biography. Drama went to Doug Wright for I Am My Own Wife. Music went to Paul Moravec for Tempest Fantasy, and poetry to Franz Wright for Walking to Martha's Vineyard.
