Joseph Pulitzer’s story, like that of many immigrants to the United States, is one of hardship, hard
work, and triumph. Born in Hungary, Joseph Pulitzer moved to the United States in 1864. He wanted to be a
reporter, but he started his American life by fighting in the American Civil War. After the war, Pulitzer
worked for the German – language newspaper, the Westliche Post. His skills as a reporter were wonderful,
and he soon became a partial owner of the paper.
In 1878, Pulitzer was able to start a newspaper of his own. Right from the first edition, the
newspaper took a controversial approach to news. Pulitzer wanted to appeal to the average reader, so he
produced exciting stories of scandal and intrigue. Such an approach is commonplace today, but in Pulitzer's
time it was new and different. The approach led to the discovery of many instances of corruption by
influential people. Pulitzer’s paper became very famous and is still produced today.
The success of Joseph Pulitzer’s newspaper made him a very wealthy man, so he wanted to give
something back to his profession. Throughout his later years, he worked to establish university programs for
the teaching of journalism, and he funded numerous scholarships to assist journalism students. Finally, he
wanted to leave a legacy that would encourage writers to remember the importance of quality. On his death,
he gave two million dollars to Columbia University so they could award prizes to great writers.
