Otherwise known as "The Accomplices."
From the NYT:
Four journalists who revealed the National Security Agency’s vast electronic data mining operation were among the winners of the George Polk Awards in Journalism for 2013, announced on Sunday by Long Island University, which administers the prizes.
[...]
The four winners who disclosed the N.S.A. surveillance were Glenn Greenwald, Ewen MacAskill and Laura Poitras of The Guardian and Barton Gellman of The Washington Post. Their articles, which won the Polk Award for national security reporting, were based on documents leaked by the former N.S.A. contractor Edward J. Snowden.

Explanation, if needed.

If you are so inclined, you can give the four a hearty "Baravo and well done!" on the Twitter machine:

Bonus: If you have not seen this debate between Daniel Ellsberg and Stewart Baker on DemocracyNow from just the other day - please do. Very enlightening.
