Pulitzer Prize, any of a series of annual prizes awarded by Columbia University, New York City, for outstanding public service and achievement in American journalism, letters, and music.

Who is Joseph Pulitzer
Joseph Pulitzer was born on April 10, 1847, in Hungary. He moved to America and became an American citizen in the 1860s. He had a number of different jobs after he moved to America. He regularly visited the library and studied English and law—by then he had learned very little English. While in the library one day, he began chatting to two editors of a German-language newspaper. They offered him a job.
Below is the short life story of Joseph Pulitzer. Find the sentences that use the past perfect tense and fill in the box below.
Pulitzer quickly became a successful journalist and by the age of 25, he had become a publisher. In 1878, he founded the newspaper the St Louis Post-Dispatch. Pulitzer worked tirelessly, from early in the morning until midnight. His paper published articles about politics and social issues, accusing government officials of dishonesty and wealthy people of not paying their taxes. Sales of the newspaper shot up. In1883, Pulitzer bought the New York World. He used the same business strategy he had employed at the St Louis Post-Dispatch and sales of the newspaper mounted up until it was the bestselling newspaper in the country.
Pulitzer was the first to advocate the training of journalists at university level. In 1892, he offered Columbia University money to start a school of journalism. Of this decision he said, “I am deeply interested in the progress and elevation of journalism ... regarding it as a noble profession and one of unequaled importance for its influence upon the minds and morals of the people." Pulitzer died in 1911.One year after his death, the Columbia School of Journalism was established. Six years after his death, the first Pulitzer Prizes were awarded.
