| + | ==History== | ||
| + | The Pulitzer Prizes were established by the Hungarian-born American journalist, [[Joseph Pulitzer]] who emerged as a prominent and skillful newspaper publisher in the latter half of the 19th century. During his career, Pulitzer was known for his relentless investigatory attacks on government corruption; he was also the publisher of both the [[New York World]] and [[St. Louis Post-Dispatch]]. In forming his will in 1904, Pulitzer established four awards to be given by Columbia University for excellence in journalism, four awards to be given in letters and drama, one award for excellence in education, and four awards of traveling scholarships. He also left a large endowment to Columbia University for the establishment of a School of Journalism. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Pulitzer established an advisory board to instill and manage changes in the structure of the literary awards as society, and literary arts, progressed. He also empowered the board and its members to withhold any prize for which the entries were substandard. Following the death of Pulitzer in 1912, the Columbia School of Journalism was founded in 1913, followed by the awarding of the first Pulitzer Prizes in 1917. Members of the first Pulitzer advisory board included various newspaper publishers, the President of Columbia University, Columbia University scholars, and other persons of various distinctions. Sanctioned by the advisory board, posthumous changes to Pulitzer’s Prizes include the creation of awards in poetry, music and photography, and the expansion of the advisory board to include leading editors, news executives, and the dean of the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism. | ||
| + | |||
| + | In 1997, upon the 150th anniversary of Pulitzer’s birth, the Pulitzer Prize Board exercised its discretion in recognizing excellence in online journalism. Beginning in 1999, the Board officially sanctioned submissions in online print as a supplement to the Public Service category. As of 2006 the Board officially recognized excellence in online achievements in fourteen of their journalism categories. A similar amendment was allowed for in the field of music, first recognized in 1943 and intended solely for composers of classical music. Beginning in 1998, the Pulitzer Prize Board has recognized musical submissions of a broader range of American music, including jazz and mainstream. In 1998 the Board also opted to posthumously award a Pulitzer Prize in music to [[George Gershwin]] on the 100th anniversary of his birth; a similar citation was awarded in 1999 to musician [[Duke Ellington]]. In 2006, the board again recognized a musician of prominence, awarding a posthumous citation to jazz composer [[Thelonius Monk]]. | ||

A Pulitzer Prize is an award regarded as the highest national honor for outstanding achievement in print journalism, literature, and musical composition; Pulitzer fellowships are also awarded. The Prizes were established by Joseph Pulitzer, a Hungarian-American journalist and newspaper publisher, who left a gift of $500,000 to Columbia University upon his death in 1911; a portion of his bequest was used to found the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in 1912. Administered by Columbia University in New York City, Pulitzer prizes are awarded each year in twenty-one different categories pertaining to journalism, arts, and letters. Recipients of the awards in twenty categories receive a cash reward of 10,000 USD; the winner of the Pulitzer in public service journalism, always a newspaper, receives a gold metal. Recipients are chosen by an independent Pulitzer Prize Board appointed by Columbia University. The first Pulitzer Prizes were awarded on June 4th 1917, and are now awarded each May.
History
The Pulitzer Prizes were established by the Hungarian-born American journalist, Joseph Pulitzer who emerged as a prominent and skillful newspaper publisher in the latter half of the 19th century. During his career, Pulitzer was known for his relentless investigatory attacks on government corruption; he was also the publisher of both the New York World and St. Louis Post-Dispatch. In forming his will in 1904, Pulitzer established four awards to be given by Columbia University for excellence in journalism, four awards to be given in letters and drama, one award for excellence in education, and four awards of traveling scholarships. He also left a large endowment to Columbia University for the establishment of a School of Journalism.
Pulitzer established an advisory board to instill and manage changes in the structure of the literary awards as society, and literary arts, progressed. He also empowered the board and its members to withhold any prize for which the entries were substandard. Following the death of Pulitzer in 1912, the Columbia School of Journalism was founded in 1913, followed by the awarding of the first Pulitzer Prizes in 1917. Members of the first Pulitzer advisory board included various newspaper publishers, the President of Columbia University, Columbia University scholars, and other persons of various distinctions. Sanctioned by the advisory board, posthumous changes to Pulitzer’s Prizes include the creation of awards in poetry, music and photography, and the expansion of the advisory board to include leading editors, news executives, and the dean of the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism.
In 1997, upon the 150th anniversary of Pulitzer’s birth, the Pulitzer Prize Board exercised its discretion in recognizing excellence in online journalism.
