Dịch bài

Một trong những giải thưởng cao quý nhất cho những nhà văn, nhà soạn nhạc là giải thưởng Pulitzer. Được trao tặng đầu tiên vào năm 1927, giải Pulitzer được trao cho Ernest Hemingway, Harper Lee, John F. Kennedy,và Rodgers and Hammerstein và những cá nhân khác. Cũng như những giải thưởng nổi tiếng khác, giải thưởng này được đặt tên theo người sáng lập ra nó, Joseph Pulitzer.

Câu chuyện của Joseph Pulitzer, cũng như những người nhập cư vào Mỹ khác, là một câu chuyện về sự gian khổ, làm việc hăng say và thành công. Sinh ra ở Hungary, Joseph Pulitzer đến Mỹ vào năm 1864. Ông muốn trở thành một phóng viên, nhưng lại bắt đầu cuộc sống ở Mỹ của mình bằng việc tham gia chiến đấu trong cuộc nội chiến Mỹ. Sau chiến tranh, Pulitzer làm việc cho một tờ báo Đức, tờ Westliche Post. Kĩ năng phóng viên của ông vô cùng tuyệt vời, và ông nhanh chóng trở thành chủ sở hữu một phần của tờ báo. Vào năm 1978, Pulitzer đã có thể tự lập ra một tờ báo cho mình. Ngay từ ấn bản đầu tiên, tờ báo đã tiếp cận đến những nguồn tin tức gây tranh cãi. Pulitzer muốn khơi gợi những độc giả trung bình, do đó ông cho in ấn những câu chuyện thú vị về những vụ bê bối và những mối dan díu.

Cách tiếp cận này khả phổ biến hiện nay, nhưng ở thời của Pulitzer, nó còn khá là mới mẻ và khác biệt. Hướng tiếp cận này đã dẫn đến việc khám phá ra nhiều vụ tham nhũng của những người có tiếng nói. Tờ báo của Pulitzer trở nên vô cùng nổi tiếng và vẫn tiếp tục được phát hành cho đến nay. Sau khi qua đời, ông để lại 2 triệu đô-la cho trường ĐH Columbia để họ trao tặng những phần thưởng cho những nhà văn xuất sắc. Nhóm người đề cử cho giải Pulitzer được tuyển chọn rất kĩ lưỡng. Đối với phần lớn bọn họ, đạt giải Pulitzer là đỉnh cao của sự nghiệp. Nếu một nhà văn, nhà báo hay nhà soạn nhạc bạn biết đạt giải Pulitzer, bạn có thể chắc chắn rằng họ đang ở đỉnh cao của sự nghiệp.

Sự thành công của Pulitzer khiến ông trở nên rất giàu có, do đó ông muốn trao lại một thứ gì đấy cho nghề nghiệp của mình. Trong suốt những năm sau đó, ông ấy mở ra các chương trình đào tạo cho những nhà báo, và trao tặng rất nhiều học bổng cho sinh viên báo chí. Cuối cùng, ông muốn để lại một di sản cho những nhà báo để nhắc nhở họ về tầm quan trọng của chất lượng bài viết. Sau khi qua đời, ông để lại 2 triệu đô cho trường ĐH Columbia để họ trao tặng giải thưởng cho những nhà văn xuất sắc. Nhóm người được đề cử cho giải thưởng Pulitzer được tuyển chọn rất kĩ lưỡng. Đối với phần lớn bọn họ, giành được giải Pulitzer là một điểm sáng trong sự nghiệp.
