"The power to mold the future of the republic will be in the hands of the journalists of future generations." ~ Joseph Pulitzer
Born in Mako, Hungary, newspaper tycoon Joseph Pulitzer (1847–1911) helped set the standard for modern journalism.
The famed publisher is best known for his endowment of the annual Pulitzer Prizes, first awarded in 1917, which honor excellence in American journalism, drama, music, and literature.
