The Pulitzer Prize
The Pulitzer Prize is regarded as the highest accolade that can be bestowed on an American journalist. First awarded in 1917, the prize was established by Joseph Pulitzer, a Hungarian-American journalist and newspaper publisher, according to his will. It is the most respected annual award in the United States with worldwide recognition.
