Pulitzer Prize
From Conservapedia
The Pulitzer Prize is an American prize awarded for achievement in journalism. There are other associated awards also called Pulitzer Prizes for other areas such as literature. In all, 21 Pulitzer Prizes are given out each year. The awards are named after Joseph Pulitzer who gave a sum of money to Columbia University after his death.
The awards are administered by the Columbia University.[1] The winners of the Pulitzer Prize are determined by The Pulitzer Prize Board.[2] They often are awarded to liberal works. For example, in 2007 the Pulitzer Prize was awarded to Charles Savage for his attack on George Bush's use of signing statements.[3] In fact, over 15 years earlier George Bush's father also attached statements to bills that he signed. One of two honored finalists for the same prize was work claiming that an innocent man was subjected to the death penalty.[4]
