The Columbia Journalism School and the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University have announced that Susan Southard’s “Nagasaki; Life After Nuclear War” is the winner of the $10,000 honour for a work of “political or social concern.”

The $30,000 Lukas award for best work-in-progress went to Steve Luxenberg for “Separate,” about the Supreme Court’s 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson ruling.

The Lukas prize project was established in 1998.  It’s named for the Pulitzer Prize-winning American journalist and author who is probably best known for his 1985 book “Common Ground: A Turbulent Decade in the Lives of Three American Families.”
