Established in 1917 by publisher Joseph Pulitzer, the Pulitzer Prize is now awarded in 21 categories, including investigative reporting, news photography, drama, poetry, music, and others. It continues to be the most coveted honor in journalism. Yet while many publications have been written on the topic of the Pulitzer Prizes, none has provided basic factual information on all of the winners. This new reference tool profiles each of the more than 1,100 individuals who have received this honor from 1917 through 1998. Entries include the winner's name, year and category for the Pulitzer Prize(s) won, birthdate, family, education, career summary, other awards won, list of selected works, and where to locate additional information. Several entries also include photos of the winner.

Library Journal Review

The main reference question this book answers "Who won the Pulitzer Prize for X in year Y?" can now be answered by using the Pulitzer web site at (www.pulitzer.org). The web site is superior to the book for information from 1995 to the present because it provides not only information on the prize winners but also the names of the other finalists, the names of the jurors, and, significantly, links to the full text of the prize-winning articles. For prizes awarded from 1917 to 1995, however, the web site provides only the name of the prize winner and a brief explanation, whereas this book provides detailed biographical information, including the winner's dates, education, career, selected works, other awards, references, and commentary. Frugal libraries can use the web site to obtain a name and then rely on standard biographical sources for the biography, but comprehensive collections and news libraries will want to use both the book and the web site to obtain the most complete information.

CHOICE Review

This who's who presents data on the lives, careers, and accomplishments of each individual (or in some cases, each organization--mostly newspapers) who was awarded the Prize. Each of the 1,175 entries contains up to 15 fields of biographical and bibliographical information. The main part of the book is arranged alphabetically by prize category and within each category chronologically, enabling readers to trace the evolution of the respective fields, some as far back as 1917 when the earliest Prizes were established (Biography/Autobiography, Drama, Editorial Writing, History, Meritorious Public Service, and Reporting). Later Prizes include Commentary, Correspondence, Photography, Poetry, and several categories of reporting (Investigative, National, International, Local, and Specialized). There are four indexes: Newspaper and Organization Winners, listed alphabetically; Individual Winners, listed alphabetically; Education Institutions, listing all postsecondary educational institutions and the winners who attended those schools; Chronology of Prizes Awarded, listing all the awards and their recipients by year. Also included for further interest is a brief history of the prize and its founder, Joseph Pulitzer. Recommended for reference collections of academic and public libraries. A. E.
