Joseph Pulitzer /ˌdʒəʊzəf ˈpʊlɪtzə(r)/ 约瑟夫·普利策(美国新闻工作者、出版家)
… by then he had learned very little English.
... by the age of 25, he had become a publisher.
He used the same business strategy he had employed ..
Joseph Pulitzer was born on April 10, 1847, in Hungary. He moved to America and became an American citizen in the 1860s. He had a number of different jobs after
he moved to America. He regularly visited the library and studied English and law—by then he had learned very little English. While in the library one day, he began chatting to two editors of a German-language newspaper. They offered him a job.
Hungary /ˈhʌŋɡəri/ 匈牙利
Pulitzer quickly became a successful journalist and by the age of 25, he had become a publisher. In 1878, he founded the newspaper the St Louis Post-Dispatch. Pulitzer
worked tirelessly, from early in the morning until midnight. △His paper published articles about politics and social issues, accusing government officials of dishonesty and wealthy people of not paying their taxes.
St Louis Post-Dispatch /snt ˈluːɪs ˌpəʊst dɪˈspætʃ/《圣路易斯邮报》
dis·patch /dɪˈspætʃ/ (驻外国记者发给报刊的)新闻报道,电讯
tirelessly/ˈtaɪələsli/不知疲倦地;孜孜不倦地;不屈不挠地
Sales of the newspaper shot up. In 1883, Pulitzer bought the New York World. He used the same business strategy he had employed at the St Louis Post-Dispatch and sales of the newspaper mounted up until it was the bestselling newspaper in the country.
Pulitzer was the first to advocate the training of journalists at university level. In 1892, he offered Columbia University money to start a school of journalism.
shoot up 快速成长; 激增;陡增;猛涨;迅速上升;蹿个儿;迅速长高
New York /ˌnjuː ˈjɔːk/ World 《纽约世界报》
Columbia University /kəˈlʌmbiə/ 哥伦比亚大学
Of this decision he said, “I am deeply interested in the progress and elevation of journalism ... regarding it as a noble profession and one of unequaled importance for its influence upon the minds and morals of the people.” Pulitzer died in 1911. One year after his death, the Columbia School of Journalism was established. Six years after his death, the first Pulitzer Prizes were awarded.
