After his death in 1911, the will stipulated: Le Monde shall never be **. In accordance with his will, his descendants donated $2.5 million to Columbia University in 1912 to establish the second journalism school in the United States, and established the Pulitzer Prize from 1917 onwards, which is annually awarded to those who have made outstanding contributions to journalism and literature in the United States, poetry, biography, history, drama, and news reporting.
In 1931, Pulitzer's son, Herbert, sold Le Monde to Scripps Howard during the Great Depression. To this end, Herbert also hired a lawyer to revise Pulitzer's will after a painstaking judicial process. By 1931, the New York World, which Pulitzer had spent his life's time founding, collapsed in the midst of the Great Economic Panic.
The New York Le Monde building was also demolished to build a road. Today, only the St. Louis Express is still in the hands of the Pulitzer family, and it remains one of the most influential newspapers in the United States.
As a generation of newspapermen, Pulitzer left a legacy of journalism. For example, it is generally believed that the New York World has three characteristics: interesting articles, concise and vivid writing, and novel and lively layout.
Pulitzer's journalistic life has always pursued a style of reporting that is concise and vivid, and the meaning is clear and clear.
It is precisely through the attractive content of the report, the concise and crisp style of writing, and the lively layout design, in line with the social movement, that the readership of his newspapers and periodicals has increased day by day, and the sales volume has been expanding day by day. At the same time, the operation and management of the newspaper industry is also improving day by day. The hallmark of its heyday was the completion of the New York World Building, which was completed in 1890.
Pulitzer's influence on journalism education was also particularly prominent. In 1892, Pulitzer made his first donation to Columbia University in New York to establish a school of journalism, but was politely refused. At that time, journalism was not yet regarded as a science, but as a craft.
And there were many newspapers that ridiculed Pulitzer's ideas. In 1904, in an article published in the North American Review, he replied that the purpose of the School of Journalism was "to produce better journalists, to produce better newspapers, to better serve the public."
I want to start a campaign to elevate journalism to an academic level. After that, he went back to Harvard President Elliott** about the matter. Based on their discussions, Elliott and Pulitzer proposed a full curriculum for journalism schools, one that emphasized the social sciences and humanities, supplemented by courses in journalistic skills.
Later, at Pulitzer's repeated requests, Columbia University finally accepted his gift and plan, and according to his will and testament in 1911, the total amount to the university was $2 million, and Columbia University added another $500,000 to this amount.
But Pulitzer himself did not witness the founding of Columbia University's School of Journalism, which was established a year after his death, and is now one of America's oldest and most reputable journalism schools, with high prestige in journalism and the industry. In addition, the college hosts the annual Pulitzer Prize for Journalism.
