Daily News… WASH POST, GUARDIAN SHARE PULITZER FOR NSA COVERAGE The Guardian and the Washington Post shared a Pulitzer Prize Monday for reporting on leaks from former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden that revealed a global surveillance network monitoring millions of Americans and foreigners. The British and American newspapers won the award for public service journalism handed out by the Pulitzer committee at Columbia University in New York for sparking debate on secretive NSA programs. The awards evoked a similar situation in 1972 when The New York Times was recognized for publication of The Pentagon Papers, leaking details of US political and military involvement in Vietnam. The US unit of the British newspaper was honored for «helping through aggressive reporting to spark a debate about the relationship between the government and the public over issues of security and privacy,» the committee said. It recognized The Post for its «authoritative and insightful reports that helped the public understand how the (NSA) disclosures fit into the larger framework of national security.» The shared award went to the two newspapers credited with breaking the news about NSA surveillance programs, without specifically citing the journalists involved. Both newspapers relied on documents leaked by Snowden, a fugitive former NSA contractor who has been granted temporary asylum in Russia and is being sought for prosecution in the United States. The reporters who played key roles in the story included Glenn Greenwald, who has since left the Guardian, and colleague Ewen MacAskill. Barton Gellman, who already has two Pulitzers, was the writer of most of the Washington Post reports. Laura Poitras, a documentary filmmaker who was the point of contact for Snowden, had the unusual distinction of sharing bylines in both the Guardian and the Post on the topic.

International News… ‘SCREW WISELY’ FRENCH JOURNALIST TO APPEAL TWEET SACKING A French journalist who was sacked over a Tweet suggesting former first lady Valerie Trierweiler -- also a journalist -- slept her way into the role has launched an appeal against his dismissal. Pierre Salviac, a former rugby expert for the radio network RTL, triggered a storm that cost him his job when he took to Twitter three days after Trierweiler’s then-partner, Francois Hollande, was elected president in 2012. «To all my female colleagues, screw wisely, you too could end up as first lady of France,» he wrote.
‘CIVIL WAR’ WARNING FOR UKRAINE Kiev’s leaders ordered troops and tanks towards a flashpoint eastern city to push back a separatist surge supported by Moscow. The 20 tanks and armoured personnel carriers were most forceful response yet by Kiev’s Westernbacked government to armed raids by proKremlin militants and the occupation of state buildings in nearly 10 cities across Ukraine’s rust belt. Ukrainian forces set up a cement road barrier and begun checking traffic leading to Slavyansk, an economically depressed industrial city of 100,000 that has been under effective control of separatist gunmen since Saturday.
