Updated to reflect new winners of the Pulitzer Prize for public service journalism and the many changes in the practice and business of journalism, \u003cem\u003ePulitzer's Gold\u003c\/em\u003e goes behind the scenes to explain the mechanics and effects of these groundbreaking works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe veteran journalist Roy J. Harris Jr. adds fascinating new detail to well-known accounts of the \u003cem\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/em\u003e investigation into the Watergate affair, the \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e coverage of the Pentagon Papers, and the \u003cem\u003eBoston Globe\u003c\/em\u003e revelations of the Catholic Church's sexual-abuse cover-up. He examines recent Pulitzer-winning coverage of government surveillance of U.S. citizens and expands on underexplored stories, from the scandals that took down Boston financial fraud artist Charles Ponzi in 1920 to recent exposes that revealed neglect at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and municipal thievery in Bell, California. This one-hundred-year history of bold journalism follows developments in all types of reporting--environmental, business, disaster coverage, war, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roy Harris Jr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231170289\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231170284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/22\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2016","brand":"Roy Harris Jr","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44634224296191,"sku":"9780231170284","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ba494804-dae5-4470-8750-819ce8dde4b6.jpg?v=1703588193","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pulitzers-gold-roy-harris-jr-9780231170284","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
