Sono stati svelati ieri, lunedì 20, i nomi che hanno trionfato nella 99esima edizione del Premio Pulitzer, il più importante riconoscimento giornalistico americano.

Un po' di storia, fino ad oggi. Nel 1892 Joseph Pulitzer, giornalista americano di origini ungheresi e magnate della stampa a stelle e strisce, propose alla Columbia University di fondare la prima scuola al mondo di giornalismo, finanziata da una sua donazione. Inizialmente, i vertici del prestigioso ateneo si opposero all’idea, ma nel 1912, pochi anni dopo la morte di Pulitzer, venne inaugurata la Scuola di studi avanzati di giornalismo che divenne ben presto la più ambita e prestigiosa. Nel 1917, in ricordo del giornalista e finanziatore venne istituito il premio omonimo, volto a celebrare coloro che si erano distinti in categorie considerate degne di merito.

Durante la prima edizione, gli unici settori premiati furono reportage, editoriale, articolo storico ed articolo biografico, oggi invece gli ambiti riconosciuti sono ben 21 e vengono assegnati non solo a professionisti del campo dell’informazione, quali inviati speciali o fotoreporter, ma anche ad autori di testi letterari. I premi ai giornalisti sono 14, mentre gli altri 7 vengono assegnati in differenti “arti” legate comunque alla scrittura, come letteratura, teatro e musica. Una giura composta da 19 esperti di giornalismo, direttori della stampa, scrittori e docenti universitari viene riunita alla Columbia University e valuta i lavori consegnati, per poi scegliere segretamente tre finalisti per ogni categoria, tra i quali in seguito viene poi selezionato il vincitore. Il riconoscimento pattuito per chi viene insignito del premio è di 10mila dollari, assieme ad un certificato che ne attesta il conseguimento. Nella categoria Giornalismo per il bene pubblico, al posto dei soldi viene assegnata al vincitore una medaglia d’oro.
