Who was awarded the Pulitzer Prize?

Pulitzer Prize is also called Pulitzer Prize for Journalism.

19 17 was established according to the last wish of Joseph Pulitzer, an American newspaper giant. In 1970s and 1980s, it has developed into the highest honor award in American journalism. Now, the continuous improvement of the selection system has made the Pulitzer Prize a global award.

Selection system

The Pulitzer Prize is evaluated by 14 members of the Pulitzer Prize Selection Committee of Columbia University every spring, and officially awarded by the President of Columbia University in May.

Reward project

Pulitzer prizes are divided into two categories, journalism and creativity. The Pulitzer Prize is also an award to encourage the United States. The winners in the press can be of any nationality, but the winning works must be published in American Weekly (or Daily). Winners in the creative world must be American citizens, the only exception being the history prize. Any book about American history can win the prize, and the author is not necessarily an American.

Related history

The Pulitzer Prize was first awarded in 19 17, and it has been 88 years now. The founder of Pulitzer Prize is Joseph Pulitzer, an American newspaper tycoon at the end of the 9th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Pulitzer 1847 was born in Hungary, and 19 1 1 died in the United States at the age of 64. Pulitzer's life is legendary. He was born in a wealthy family in Hungary, and his father was a grain merchant. Pulitzer received a good education, and he dreamed of becoming a soldier since he was a child. At the age of 17, Pulitzer applied to join the Austrian army, Napoleon's overseas corps and the British army stationed in India, but his applications were rejected due to poor health and myopia. When Pulitzer was depressed, American recruiters in Europe accepted him, so Pulitzer crossed the ocean and came to the United States. Pulitzer didn't speak English very well at that time, but German and French were very good, which was just right for him, because most of the soldiers recruited by the United States from Europe didn't speak much English at that time.

After being a soldier for a year, Pulitzer left the army and began to work everywhere. He has moved luggage, worked as a waiter in a restaurant and delivered goods. Although life in America is hard, Pulitzer makes full use of his time to study in the library. One day in the library of St. Louis, Pulitzer saw two people playing chess. He couldn't help it. He didn't expect to be appreciated by the chess players, so they began to talk. It turned out that these two chess players were editors of a famous German newspaper at that time. They appreciated Pulitzer very much and introduced him to work in a newspaper. Since then, Pulitzer has embarked on the road of professional news. In the following decades, whether as a reporter, editor or newspaper owner, Pulitzer tried to attract readers with fair and detailed reports.

Pulitzer's newspaper is very successful, but it is also very bumpy. He was not only challenged by his competitors, but also accused by the American government at that time. In the last twenty years of his life, Pulitzer was in poor health and almost blind. In this case, he still insisted on the concept of freedom of the press, insisted on exposing social injustice, insisted on exposing the improper behavior of the US government, and urged the training of professional journalists. Pulitzer famously said, "America will coexist with freedom of the press."

Pulitzer died in 19 1 1 year; 19 12, the school of journalism of Columbia University was established; 19 17, 88 years have passed since the first Pulitzer Prize was awarded.

Pulitzer Prize for Literature has always been regarded as an honor by American writers, but there are exceptions. Sinclair lewis refused to accept the prize of 1926, and William Sharon refused to accept the prize of 1940 to show contempt.
