In the latter years of the 19th century, Hungarian-born Joseph Pulitzer stood
out as an indomitable figure, a skillful newspaper publisher, a passionate
crusader against dishonest government, a fierce, hawk-like competitor who did
not shrink from sensationalism in circulation struggles, and a visionary who
richly endowed his profession. In his will he made provision for the establishment
of Pulitzer Prizes in journalism, letters and drama, education, and traveling
scholarnships, as an incentive to excellence.
