April 10, 1847 was the birth of American newspaper tycoon Pulitzer
On this day 178 years ago, April 10, 1847 (February 25, 1847 lunar calendar), the birthday of the American newspaper tycoon Pulitzer. Pulitzer, like Joseph Pulitzer, was born in Hungary on April 10, 1847 to a Jewish family. At the age of 17, he ran away from his family and wanted to join the army. He was rejected due to poor eyesight and weak health. He was later recruited by the US army and became a cavalryman. He became an American citizen in 1867. In 1868, he became a reporter for the German-language "Western Post". With a strong thirst for knowledge and abundant energy, he tirelessly dug all kinds of news, and later became the full owner of the newspaper. By 1878, he had become proficient in English and bought the Telegraph in St. Louis for $2,500 on December 9 of that year. He later merged with the local Post to form the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. In 1883, he bought the New York World for $34.60,000. He adopted an editorial writing system - that is, the material written by reporters is polished, organized, and synthesized into articles for publication in the newspaper. This writing rule is still the general principle of the entire news industry. Pulitzer was unique in the operation and editing of newspapers. He emphasized that newspapers should publish news truthfully and accurately, the text should be concise and popular, and the effort to write good editorials. Pulitzer died in 1911. He is now often remembered by the Pulitzer Prize for Journalism (established in 1912), especially the Photography Prize, which represents the achievements of the American photojournalism community.
