哥伦比亚的光 | 普利策奖101
引言
2017年普利策奖得主与最终入选名单将于纽约时间2017年4月10日周一下午3:00在哥伦比亚大学新闻研究生院普利策楼（Pulitzer Hall）公布。值此即将公布获奖者名单之际，我们特别整理了普利策奖的简介和奖项列表，另有约瑟夫·普利策先生的生平，以纪念普利策奖一百周年。
普利策奖是根据约瑟夫·普利策遗愿在哥伦比亚大学设立的奖项，包括了新闻、书籍、戏剧和音乐四大类下的21个评奖项目。委员会每年度共举行两次会议。奖项由普利策奖评选委员会授予，每年春季由哥伦比亚大学公布。
The Pulitzer Prizes and Fellowships, established in Columbia University by the will of the first Joseph Pulitzer, are awarded by the University on the recommendation of The Pulitzer Prize Board. The Board meets twice annually. There are 21 categories across journalism, books, drama and music. The Prizes are announced during the Spring.
约瑟夫·普利策于1902年提出在哥伦比亚大学建立世界级的新闻学院。1912年，在他提出这一想法十年后，79位包括十余名女性在内的本科生与研究生入学，新闻学院正式开课。由于新闻学院的普利策大楼正在建设中，课程只得于校园各个地点开展。1913年，普利策大楼建成开放。1917年颁发了第一个普利策奖。
Ten years after Joseph Pulitzer first proposed a world‐class journalism school at Columbia, classes began on September 30, 1912. Seventy‐nine undergraduate and graduate students enrolled, including a dozen women. Classes convened at several locations around campus, as the Journalism building was still under construction. Its doors opened the next year and in 1917 the first Pulitzer Prizes were awarded.
