The source adds the following information: "To tabulate international Pulitzers over 100 years, we included not only winners of the international reporting Prize, which has existed since 1948, but also winners in correspondence (1929-47), telegraphic reporting—international (1942-47), and reporting (1917-1947) when the topics were international."
