The Pulitzer Prizes are prestigious awards presented annually by Columbia University for outstanding public service and achievement in American journalism, letters, and music. Established by and named for iconic editor and publisher Joseph Pulitzer, the prizes have been awarded since 1917. While the categories in which the prizes have been awarded have changed over the years, the vast majority of them are awarded for journalism, and they are widely regarded as that profession’s most coveted honor.
