Both outlets note that Rushdie is a U.S. citizen, having held U.S. citizenship for the past decade. While the reports largely focus on the fact of the award and Rushdie’s status, they do not describe additional details such as the specific date of the ceremony, the selection process, or the text(s) credited for the lifetime honor.
