A Glimpse of Pulitzer Prize:An Analysis of the Word-Frequency on Citation of Pulitzer Prize for Journalism(1917-2016)

本研究通过词频分析法,考察1917年至2016年美国普利策新闻奖获作品的嘉奖辞。研究发现,作为普利策评审委员会对获奖作品的专业评述,一百年来嘉奖词中的词频呈现一定的稳定性和持续性;同时,在不同总统和不同政党的执政期内,嘉奖词中的词频又显现出差异性。这在某种程度上表明,百年来普利策新闻奖评审遵循并适当调整着自己的专业标准,由此影响普利策新闻奖这一美国新闻业最高荣誉体系的构建。

This study uses the citation of award-winning works of the Pulizer Prizes for Journalism from 1917 to 2016 as the object of study. As a professional review on the winning works by the Pulitzer PrizeBoard, the word frequency of the citation has a certain stability and continuity in a hundred years, while there are differences in the word frequency of the citation in administration of different presidents and different political parties. To some extent, the Pulitzer Prize Board of the Pulizer Prizes for Journalism has been following and appropriately adjusting its professional standard, thereby influencing the construction of the highest honor system in American journalism- Pulizer Prizes for Journalism.
