Today in Labor History February 27, 1902: John Steinbeck was born on this date in Salinas, California. He wrote numerous novels from the perspective of farmers and working-class people, including “The Grapes of Wrath,” “Tortilla Flats” “Of Mice and Men,” “Cannery Row,” and “East of Eden.” In 1935, he joined the communist League of American Writers. He faced contempt charges for refusing to cooperate with HUAC. The FBI and the IRS harassed him throughout his career. Yet he wrote glowingly about U.S. troops during the Vietnam War. He won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1962 and the Pulitzer in 1939.

Los Pulitzer nacieron para premiar la excelencia dentro del periodismo, la literatura y la música.

El premio a la mejor fotografía se lleva dando desde 1942.

La primera fotografía premiada fue esta que vemos de Milton Brooks.

En ella vemos como los huelguistas de la fábrica de Ford golpean a un esquirol con gran violencia. Aquellos trabajadores se manifestaban para conseguir legalizar el derecho sindical en la fábrica de coches.

"La cocaína que se vendía en los barrios negros de #EEUU, provenía de la #CIA y del gobierno que lo usaban para financiar la guerra en Centroamérica. La droga salía de los políticos estadounidenses y las agencias federales, su guerra contra las drogas era #un fraude".

As always, the predictions for #journalism from the @niemanlab were very interesting, and as always, I am most interested in how impact is conceived here in a complex #society: Time to acknowledge that #Pulitzer ("Get these things out in the open [...] and sooner or later public opinion will sweep them away.") is dead. Hopefully early enough to ask, what to do instead.

Anyone up for discussing these strategies?
