Premio Pulitzer

Os Premios Pulitzer son unha serie de 21 galardóns que abranguen as modalidades de teatro, literatura, música e xornalismo, e que se entregan cada ano arredor do mes de abril nos Estados Unidos, sendo a máxima distinción á tarefa profesional do xornalismo naquel país. 
 Historia 
No seu testamento, redactado en 1904, Joseph Pulitzer chama á creación deste premio co obxectivo de estimular a excelencia. El menciona nese momento soamente trece premios, dos que catro eran para o xornalismo, catro para o dominio da literatura e o teatro e un para a educación. Sensible ós cambios da súa época, Pulitzer constituíu unha comisión de vixilancia consultiva e deulle o poder de substituír certos temas, sempre que a comisión xulgue que iso íría en beneficio do público. Deulle igualmente o dereito de non outorgar o premio se ningunha obra corresponde ós criterios de excelencia do xurado.

Conforme a vontade de Pulitzer, é o presidente da Universidade de Columbia quen anuncia e outorga os premios segundo recomendación do xurado. Pero en realidade, a comisión actualmente é independente e decide soa a atribución dos premios.

Os premios concedéronse por primeira vez o día 4 de xuño de 1917. Desde aquela foron ininterrompidamente outorgados pola Universidade de Columbia en colaboración co Padroado do Premio Pulitzer (Pulitzer Prize Board). Desde hai anos outórganse durante o mes de abril. O premio á mellor fotografía de prensa concedeuse por primeira vez no ano 1942, e o premio á mellor composición musical no ano 1943. Entre os anos 1970 e 1979 creáronse os premios de ensaio, crítica e ficción literaria.

Só as reportaxes e fotografías de diarios (ou noticiarios diarios) con sede central nos Estados Unidos poden ser propostos coma candidatos ós premios na categoría de xornalismo.

O premio vai acompañado dun cheque de 10.000 dólares (USD), agás o Premio ó Servizo Público - o máis importante - ó que se lle outorga a medalla de ouro.

Tamén houbo moitos Premios Pulitzer especiais. Ademais dos premios, catro membros do estudantado da Pulitzer Graduate School of Journalism, seleccionados polo profesorado, son premiados con bolsas de viaxe.

 Os novos tempos 
A xunta que entrega todos os anos o Premio Pulitzer como distinción xornalística —en vista de que os diarios usan cada vez máis Internet para divulgar, apoiar e destacar o seu traballo— outorgou a partir do 2006 un premio ós traballos publicados en Internet.

A categoría de Servizo Público, considerada a de maior prestixio, xa aceptou material de Internet desde 1999. Esta categoría continuará aceptando varios tipos de traballo por Internet, coa inclusión de vídeo, bases de datos e cronoloxías. A novidade radica en que as outras 13 categorías de xornalismo permitiron contido da rede por primeira vez. Os Premios Pulitzer de 2006 foron anunciados o 17 de abril.
