Pulitzer prize for photojournalism.

Pulitzer's success lies in his good management, using his newspaper to launch national social movements regularly and without losing time, and skillfully using news competition. He is proficient in news theory and understands the current social situation. So Pulitzer's newspaper has three characteristics: interesting, exciting and instructive.

Interest is a concise, refined and popular style advocated by Pulitzer, which enhances the readability of newspapers. Stimulation is to stimulate the reader's sensory system by sensational news means. Pulitzer understands that people are aggressive, and children can put aside other interesting things and watch fights. Therefore, Pulitzer often uses sensational tactics (his newspaper is satirical, complacent, critical and lazy; His newspaper is full of interesting chapters that appeal to businessmen, workers and housewives; His newspaper is full of new vitality endowed by Pulitzer. People say that this vitality is Pulitzer's sensational creation. This is not only a strategic need, but also a reflection of his aggressive character. The educational nature of newspapers is to constantly expose social abuses and scandals to the public, safeguard justice and put forward plans to improve society. His newspaper has always shouldered the mission of educating readers.

Pulitzer is the pioneer of American news theory, the first person to expose social scandals, and the founder of western yellow news. During his journalism career, he made outstanding contributions to making journalism a discipline for social workers. The news reform movement initiated by him had a great progressive influence on American political and social life.

In a word, Pulitzer's life marks the establishment and vigorous development of American journalism. Joseph Pulitzer was born in Koloc-0/847 in Kolbe, Hungary. /kloc-came to the United States in 0/864. During the American Civil War, he joined the first cavalry regiment of New York State, a federal army. 1867 became an American citizen. 1868 worked as a reporter for the western post in St. Louis, Missouri. 1869 was elected as a state legislator, actively supported freedom and the party movement, and served as secretary of the party congress. St. Louis Post, founded in 1878, is the most important newspaper in the Midwest of the United States. 1883, moved to new york and bought Le Monde in new york. Under its management, he became the newspaper with the highest circulation. World Evening News was founded on 1887. In his later years, he advocated professional training for journalists. 1911010 On October 29th, Pulitzer, the world-famous founder of modern American newspaper industry, passed away.

Hearst once learned a lot of news knowledge from him. After Pulitzer's death, this impassioned article wrote:

An outstanding figure in the American and international press has passed away, a powerful democratic force in national life and world life has disappeared, and a powerful right that has been exercised on behalf of people's rights and human progress has come to an end. Joseph Pulitzer died.

Fully affirmed Pulitzer's historical position and life value.

But in the book Inside the American Pulitzer Prize written by American writer Douglas Bates, Joseph Pulitzer is described in another way:

Like Nobel, Pulitzer was an inventor and soon made a fortune. His invention is sensational news. He also founded a comic newspaper, from which the name "yellow news" came. Used to describe Pulitzer's style of running a newspaper. In the process of increasing wealth, he often exaggerates news, uses some scary headlines, makes tendentious political reports and releases some news out of thin air. Like his rival william randolph hearst, he incited the whole country to launch a Spanish-American war in some reprehensible ways. The war killed more than 5,000 Americans in 1898, and countless Spaniards and Cubans died in the war. All this is to sell more newspapers in the distribution war of Tunhurst.

Perhaps Pulitzer's smartest move is to impress historians with his positive side. He did two farsighted things when 19 1 1 died. 1903, he set up the Columbia Journalism Institute with $2.5 million, and took out $500,000 as a fund to award outstanding works in books, drama, music and news-this is the first national prize established, that is, the Pulitzer Prize.

As Thomas Griffith, a reporter from Time magazine, said, the Pulitzer Prize has become "the highest award in America now". He didn't mean the $3,000 check that each winner got, but the honor he got from it.

In the press, the magic of Pulitzer Prize is hard to explain. There are at least 300 awards in the press, but none is as famous as the Pulitzer Prize.
