Answer:

Joseph Pulitzer

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pulitzer is the most important and respected journalism award in the United States, being awarded to professionals who have performed excellence in journalism, literature and music composition.

The Pulitzer Prize was created in 1917 at the urging of Hungarian journalist and publisher Joseph Pulitzer, who revolutionized jonalism through his entrepreneurial and visionary work.

Some time before his death, Pulitzer expressed his desire to encourage journalists and artists by awarding a prize. In 1912, part of his fortune was used for the establishment of the Faculty of Journalism at Columbia University. On June 4, 1917, the first Pulitzer Prize was awarded and, since then, it is announced every year in April.
