This volume tells the unique journalistic career of one of the outstanding 20th Century American media professionals, Herbert Bayard Swope. He came from German stock and worked for many years as the executive editor of the New York newspaper `The World', owned by the Pulitzer family. But he did not hesitate to apply for a Pulitzer Prize and became the very first reporter to win such an award in 1917. In the following decade, Swope was successful to manage that several of his staff members also earned Pulitzer Prizes. All of the award-winning materials are also documented in this book. Erika J. Fischer (dag), PhD, was a freelance author and researcher. Heinz-D. Fischer, EdD, PhD, is Professor Emeritus at the Ruhr University of Bochum, Germany.
