The Pulitzer Prizes were first presented in 1917. The prizes were given for American journalism and literary works published in 1916. There were initially four categories; others that had been specified in Joseph Pulitzer's request were phased in over the next few years. The winners were selected by the Trustees of Columbia University, on advice from juries of appointed experts.
A prize of $1,000 was awarded for reporting, and $500 for editorial writing.[1] Because of an insufficient number of candidates, prizes were not issued in the three other journalism categories (public service, newspaper history, and most suggestive paper on development of the Columbia School of Journalism).[1][2]
New York Tribune, for "s:New York Tribune/1916/The Lusitania Anniversary", an editorial article on the first anniversary of the sinking of Lusitania (no author was named, but the editorial was written by Frank H. Simonds).[3]
Herbert Bayard Swope, New York World, for articles which appeared October 10, October 15 and from November 4 daily to November 22, 1916, inclusive, entitled, "Inside the German Empire."
Letters awardsEdit
A prize of $2,000 was awarded for the best book on American history, and $1,000 for the best American biography.[1] Prizes for the best novel and best drama were not awarded, as the jurors did not find a deserving winner.[2]
