Foreign Correspondents Report From Africa

Zusatztext

Pulitzer Prize-winning reporting from African countries by leading American journalists is a latecomer within the award category for international coverage. It took almost close to two decades after the establishment of the awards that reporting about the Italian-Ethiopian crisis was declared prize-worthy by the Pulitzer Prize jurors. During World War II prizes were given for the coverage of the North African battlefields. Since the 1960s inner-African conflicts like unrests in the Congo impressed the jurors as well as the Apartheid system in South Africa.
