Publisher Description: In 1941, the Pulitzer Prize Board at the School of Journalism of Columbia University gave a special award to the 'New York Times' -for the public educational value of its foreign news report, exemplified by its scope, by excellence of writing and presentation, and supplementary background information, illustration, and interpretation- during 1940. This book contains great parts of the award-winning exhibit of one of the leading newspapers of the world. The material presented not only demonstrates the world-wide correspondence of the 'New York Times' one year before the U.S. became involved in World War II, it also gives a fascinating insight into the number and names of all foreign correspondents and the costs for transmitting the articles world-wide by cable exactly fifty years ago." |
