The Pulitzer Prizes
The Pulitzer Prizes are prestigious awards recognizing excellence in journalism, literature, and music in the United States. Established in 1917 by Joseph Pulitzer, they honor achievements in various categories, including investigative reporting, fiction, and drama. Each year, a panel of judges reviews submissions and selects winners, highlighting outstanding contributions that impact society and culture. The awards aim to promote quality journalism and the arts, celebrating work that informs, educates, and inspires the public. Winning a Pulitzer is considered one of the highest honors in these fields.
