Who is the famous journalist for whom an award is given annually to writers and composers?

Joseph Pulitzer

Explanation:

The Pulitzer is the most important and respected journalism award in the United States, being awarded to professionals who have performed excellence in journalism, literature and music composition.

The Pulitzer Prize was created in 1917 at the urging of Hungarian journalist and publisher Joseph Pulitzer, who revolutionized jonalism through his entrepreneurial and visionary work.

Some time before his death, Pulitzer expressed his desire to encourage journalists and artists by awarding a prize. In 1912, part of his fortune was used for the establishment of the Faculty of Journalism at Columbia University. On June 4, 1917, the first Pulitzer Prize was awarded and, since then, it is announced every year in April.

the committees of correspondence were the american colonies’ means for maintaining communication lines in the years before the revolutionary war. in 1764, boston formed the earliest committee of correspondence to encourage opposition to britain’s stiffening of customs enforcement and prohibition of american paper money. the following year, new york formed a similar committee to keep the other colonies notified of its actions in resisting the stamp act. in 1773, the virginia house of burgesses proposed that each colonial legislature appoint a committee for intercolonial correspondence. the exchanges that followed built solidarity during the turbulent times and bring about the formation of the first continental congress in 1774.
