Columbia Graduate School of Journalism was officially opened in September 1912. And the first Pulitzer Prize was awarded on June 4, 1917. The Prize was established by Joseph Pulitzer, journalist and newspaper publisher, who founded the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and bought the New York World. There are 14 categories of journalism in which the Prize is awarded each April.

The Journalism School’s reach and reputation as a unique incubator of talents is revealed in the foundation of one of the first international awards the Maria Moors Cabot Prizes in 1939 to promote journalist contribution to inter-American understanding. Three to four medalists from the USA, Latin America and Canada are selected each year.

Approaching its 50^th year, the school instituted Journalism Day and the Columbia Journalism Award, and in 1961 established the Columbia Journalism Review, a groundbreaking publication covering trends and developments in the profession.

The Journalism School’s sixth decade was an exciting one, as the building added newsrooms, began to dispense the National Magazine Awards, and created the Alfred I. DuPont – Columbia Award for excellence in broadcast journalism.

Innovation with an eye towards tradition continued to guide the Journalism School through the years. The 1960s and 70s established the blueprint of the school’s basic curriculum and confided Reporting and Writing 1 (RW1) as the cornerstone of the Master of Science experience. The creation of Knight-Bagehot Fellowship to enrich business journalism in 1975 and the 1985 creation of the Delacorte Center for Magazine Journalism gave students invaluable opportunities to specialize.

In addition to a PhD program and Master of Arts degree the school has introduced a MS degree in Computer Science and Journalism after the opening the Tow Center for Digital Journalism. Opening in 2006 the Toni Stabile Center for Investigative Journalism has demonstrated the school’s continuing commitment to innovation.
