The Washington Post and Los Angeles Times Monday each won three of the 14 Pulitzer Prizes in journalism for year 2003, while the prestigious public service prize went to the Boston Globe for its "courageous, comprehensive"coverage of the priest sex scandal in the US Roman Catholic church.

The Post's Kevin Sullivan and Mary Jordan won the international reporting award for their coverage of Mexico's criminal justice system.

The feature writing Pulitzer was given to Sonia Nazario of Los Angeles Times for his story on a Honduran boy's search for his mother who had migrated to the United States.

The feature photography award went to Times photographer Don Barletti for his "memorable portrayal" of how undocumented Central American youths, often facing deadly danger, travel north to the United States.

The New York Times, which won a record seven Pulitzer Prizes last year, managed only one award this time around, with Clifford Levy taking the investigative reporting category for exposing the abuse of mentally ill adults in state-regulated homes.

The most prestigious journalism awards in the United States were announced Monday afternoon at the Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University.

In the field of the arts, Jeffrey Eugenides won the Pulitzer for fiction for the novel "Middlesex", a story of sexual and ethnic identity.

The award for nonfiction went to Samantha Power for her treatise on American passivity toward various genocides in the 20th century, "A Problem From Hell: America and the Age of Genocide."
