The following are the Pulitzer Prizes for 1960.

Journalism Awards

*Local Reporting, Edition Time:
** Jack Nelson of the "Atlanta Constitution", for the excellent reporting in his series of articles on mental institutions in Georgia.
*Local Reporting, No Edition Time:
** Miriam Ottenberg of "Evening Star", for a series of seven articles exposing a used-car racket in Washington, D.C., that victimized many unwary buyers. The series led to new regulations to protect the public and served to alert other communities to such sharp practices.

*International Reporting:
** A. M. Rosenthal of "The New York Times", for his perceptive and authoritative reporting from Poland. Mr. Rosenthal's subsequent expulsion from the country was attributed by Polish government spokesmen to the depth his reporting into Polish affairs, there being no accusation of false reporting.
