Hungarian-born Joseph Pulitzer was a newspaper publisher, a crusader against
dishonest government, and a fierce competitor who did not shrink from
sensationalism in circulation struggles, and a man who endowed his profession.
Pulitzer was the first to call for the training of journalists at university
level in a school of journalism.
His 1904 will made provision for the establishment of the Pulitzer Prizes
as an incentive to excellence in American writing.
Since the inception of the prizes, the Pulitzer Prize Board has increased
the number of awards and introduced poetry, music, and photography as
subjects, while adhering to the spirit of the founder's intent.
Formal announcement of the prizes is made each April.
