Pulitzer Prize Winners 2007
MediaPath celebrates several days of its birth. And as far as there is no present without past, and no future without present, the first issue MediaPath will cover is the Pulitzer Prize together with the list of the most important and successful people in the field of journalism. Hardly one can find a person who never heard about the Pulitzer Prize. It has a very interesting history. This term counts years from the 19th century. Pulitzer was the most skillful newspaper publisher. His innovative New World and St. Louis Post-Dispatch changed the understanding of newspaper journalism. Journalism is not the only sphere he worked and indeed, worked successfully, but the focus of our interest falls on journalism. There are too many web sites which highlight the history of Pulitzer. But my choice fell over those people who got Pulitzer Prizes in journalism. Fortunately the list is quite long. It is divided into several categories:
Each category counts several winners.
