presentation. From 1985 to 1997, it was known as the <b>Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Journalism.</b> </p><p>The Pulitzer Prize Board announced the new category in November 1984, citing a series of explanatory articles that seven months earlier had won the <a href="/wiki/Pulitzer_Prize_for_Feature_Writing" title="Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing">Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing</a>. The series, "Making It Fly" by <a href="/wiki/Peter_Rinearson" title="Peter Rinearson">Peter Rinearson</a> of <i><a href="/wiki/The_Seattle_Times" title="The Seattle Times">The Seattle Times</a></i>, was a 29,000-word account of the development of the <a href="/wiki/Boeing_757" title="Boeing 757">Boeing 757</a> jetliner. It had been entered in the National Reporting category, but judges moved it to Feature Writing to award it a prize. In the aftermath, the Pulitzer Prize Board said it was creating the new category in part because of the ambiguity about where explanatory accounts such as "Making It Fly" should be recognized. The Pulitzer Committee issues an official citation explaining the reasons for the award. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="List_of_winners_for_Pulitzer_Prize_for_Explanatory_Journalism_(1985–1997)"><span id="List_of_winners_for_Pulitzer_Prize_for_Explanatory_Journalism_.281985.E2.80.931997.29"></span>List of winners for Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Journalism (1985–1997)</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Pulitzer_Prize_for_Explanatory_Reporting&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: List of winners for Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Journalism (1985–1997)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><b>1985:</b> <a href="/wiki/Jon_Franklin" title="Jon Franklin">Jon Franklin</a>, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Baltimore_Sun" title="The Baltimore Sun">The Baltimore Evening Sun</a></i>, "for his seven-part series '<a href="/wiki/The_Mind_Fixers" title="The Mind Fixers">The Mind Fixers</a>,' about the new science of molecular psychiatry."</li> <li><b>1986:</b> Staff of <i><a href="/wiki/The_New_York_Times" title="The New York Times">The New York Times</a></i>, "for a six-part comprehensive series on the <a href="/wiki/Strategic_Defense_Initiative" title="Strategic Defense Initiative">Strategic Defense Initiative</a>, which explored the scientific, political and foreign policy issues involved in 'Star Wars.'"</li> <li><b>1987:</b> <a href="/wiki/Jeff_Lyon" title="Jeff Lyon">Jeff Lyon</a> and <a href="/w/index.php?title=Peter_Gorner&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Peter Gorner (page does not exist)">Peter Gorner</a>, <i><a href="/wiki/Chicago_Tribune" title="Chicago Tribune">Chicago Tribune</a></i>.
