Ta-Nehisi Coates, Cartoonist Garry Trudeau Among 2014 Polk Award Winners

Journalists from The New York Times, The Washington Post, Politico and The Atlantic are among those who won George Polk Awards for “investigative and enterprising reporting” in 2014, Long Island University announced in a press release Sunday.

The decision to make Trudeau the 33rd recipient of the award was largely seen as a showing of solidarity with the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists who were killed during a terrorist attack in Paris on Jan. 7.
