英语词汇pulitzer prize的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Pulitzer Prize. Hungarian-born Joseph Pulitzer was per- suaded to immigrate to America by an agent who recruited him for the Union Army in 1864. After serving until his dis- charge a year later, he settled in St. Louis, where he founded the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in 1878. But when his chief editorial aide, Col. John A. Cockerell, shot and killed Col. Alonzo Slay- back during a bitter political quarrel, Pulitzer left his paper and moved to New York, where he founded the New York World in 1883. He proceeded to become a congressman and make his paper among the best in the world, despite the fact that he went blind at age 40. A liberal, crusading newspaper, the World did much to raise the standards of American journalism, employ- ing many of the greatest reporters and columnists of the day. Absorbed by the Scripps-Howard chain in 1931, it was eventu- ally merged out of existence. When Pulitzer died in 1911, aged 64, his will provided a fund to Columbia University, where he had established and endowed the school of journalism, which has been used since 1917 to give annual monetary awards for writing. Prizes in journalism for local, national, and interna- tional reporting; editorial writing; news photography; cartoon- ing; and meritorious public service performed by an individual newspaper. There are also prizes for music and theater, and four traveling scholarships. See booker prize.
