false 2244102 1 Pulitzer s Gold is the first book to trace the ninety-year history of the coveted Pulitzer Prize for Public Service, awarded annually to a newspaper rather than to individuals. Harris recalls dozens of stories behind the stories, often allowing the journalists involved to share their own accounts. Readers will recognize some of the stories, like the New York Times s Pentagon Papers exclusive and the Watergate scandal that Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein dug out for the Washington Post. But Harris takes his Gold Medal saga through two World Wars, the Great Depression, the Civil Rights struggle, and the Vietnam era before bringing public-service journalism into today s age of environmental and corporate exposés. Story after story illustrates how for small town papers or metropolitan dailies alike, public-service reporting is a point of pride for the American press. 2249962 17 1 2008 Pulitzer's Gold: Behind the Prize for Public Service Journalism total:5|5:0|4:3|3:2|2:0|1:0| 5 18 10 3 4 0 false false Wed Feb 18 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Jun 15 10:15:07 -0700 2008 Fri Mar 27 16:13:04 -0700 2009 1 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 11 12:50:36 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 11 12:52:24 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Feb 02 15:14:56 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 02 15:15:24 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sat Oct 24 20:05:51 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 24 20:07:02 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Feb 07 20:00:35 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 07 20:01:06 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri May 02 07:07:39 -0700 2008 Fri May 02 07:07:39 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sun Mar 30 07:10:46 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 30 07:11:03 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Mar 24 18:17:04 -0700 2008 Mon Mar 24 18:17:08 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Thu May 15 20:19:16 -0700 2008 Thu Mar 20 19:23:12 -0700 2008 Thu May 15 20:19:16 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Fri Feb 27 15:49:08 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 24 13:21:07 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 27 15:49:08 -0800 2009 1 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=2244102
