Pulitzer

When I was out last night Jackie (an occasional 'Pish visitor) mentioned she wasn't sure exactly what The Pulitzer Prize involved. I promised her some research on it, and here I deliver.

The Pulitzer Prize is a United States literary award given out each April. Recipients of the award are chosen by an independent board and officially administered by the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in the United States. The prize was established by Joseph Pulitzer, a Hungarian-American journalist and newspaper publisher in the late 19th century. The very first Pulitzer Prizes were awarded on June 4, 1917.

For the full gen on it here is the Wikipedia entry and trawl the archives on the offcial site.
