 Guardian | NYT writer 'should be stripped of Pulitzer'
The New York Times has been told that the Pulitzer prize awarded to one of its correspondents in the Soviet Union 70 years ago should be rescinded because the journalist was not critical enough of Stalinism, it emerged yesterday.
Duranty, one of the paper's correspondents in the Soviet Union in the 1930s, was awarded a 1932 Pulitzer prize, the premier award in American journalism, for his coverage of the area.
But he said rescinding the prize might be seen as similar to the "Stalinist practice to airbrush purged figures out of official records and histories" and would set a dangerous precedent for revisiting prize-winning stories written in different eras.

The first Pulitzer prizes were awarded in 1917, but the committee chose not to name a winner in the Novel (now Fiction) category.
Athough there was no Fiction prize in 1957, the Pulitzer judges that year gave an honorary award to Kenneth Roberts for his historical novels written between 1930 and 1956.
Other multiple Pulitzer Prize winners among the Fiction winners are: Thornton Wilder, once for a novel and twice for plays; Robert Penn Warren, once for a novel and twice for poetry; and Norman Mailer, once for a novel and once for nonfiction.

To try and dodge this issue by suggesting that his prize was given for what he wrote before the Great Famine is a sophistry, for Duranty was already serving Soviet interests by 1931, and would continue doing so for many years thereafter.
But unless his prize was connected to his specific journalistic activities on the Great Famine and was obtained by fraud and deception, there is no basis of withdrawing the prize.
His Prize-winning articles in 1931 were more of the same with the intent to contradict anti-Sioviet reports and to promote recogniztion of the Soviet Union by the U.S. Duranty is seen as playing a large role in persuading FDR to recognize the USSR.

 Campaign to rescind Pulitizer Prize   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
An international protest was initiated by Ukrainian communities around the world --"Revoke Walter Duranty's 1932 Pulitzer Prize" -- to commemorate the 70th Anniversary of the Great Ukrainian Famine of 1932-33.
However, a Pulitzer Prize for reporting is awarded not for the author's body of work or for the author's character but for the specific pieces entered in the competition.
Revoking a prize 71 years after it was awarded under different circumstances, when all principals are dead and unable to respond, would be a momentous step and therefore would have to rise to that threshold.

The Pulitzer Prize Board announced late Tuesday it would reconsider the 1932 award given to New York Times Moscow correspondent Walter Duranty, accused of deliberately not reporting the "forced famine" in Ukraine during the regime of Soviet Union leader Josef Stalin.
Gissler said that the Pulitzer board honored Duranty in 1932 for his stories from the previous year, which were unrelated to the famine.
The Pulitzer Prize recognizes the work during a single year rather than "a winner's body of work over time," Gissler added.

No Pulitzer is going to be revoked unless the writer publicly admits that the winning piece was a deliberate pack of lies - and even then that might not be enough, unless the Pulitzer committee felt itself threatened by the admissions.
Besides, there are probably more than a few Pulitzer admirers or participants who still think Duranty's puff pieces for one of the greatest murderers in history were well-intentioned and maybe even necessary.
The honorable thing to have happen would be for the NYT to return the Pulitzer and acknowledge Duranty's lies of omission and for access.

The Pulitzer Prize is an annual award given only to Americans (with one exception) in each of several categories, most involving journalism.
This prize is also awarded in five "letters" categories: Biography or Autobiography, Fiction, General Non-Fiction, Poetry and a book of History about the United States (the only category in which the winner need not be an American citizen).
The difference is made up by two endowments combined with nearly half the cost of prizes, $100,000, brought in each year by requiring approximately 2,000 hopeful award applicants to pay a $50 fee.

The Pulitzer people note that Duranty was given the award in 1932, reflecting his work of the prior year, before the famine began.
The Pulitzer commission, which upheld Duranty's award in an earlier review, opened a second inquiry in April at the behest of the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America, which seeks to mark the 70th anniversary of the tragedy.

 Andrew Stuttaford on Walter Duranty & Pulitzer on National Review Online
Despite all the protests, the Pulitzer Prize board has decided that it will not revoke the award won by Walter Duranty of the New York Times for his reporting in Stalin's Soviet Union.
As the body responsible for administering journalism's most prestigious prize, the Pulitzer board ought to be advocates of openness and disclosure.
But if the Pulitzer Prize board can, in theory at least, make a respectable case for leaving the prize in Hell with Duranty's ghost, the New York Times, usually so exquisitely sensitive to the injustices of the past, is on less certain ground.

A spokesman for the Pulitzer board, Sid Gissler, said the board has considered withdrawing Duranty's prize on previous occasions but had decided against doing so because it had not been awarded for articles related to the famine.

Collectivization was the main cause of a famine that killed millions of people in Ukraine, the Soviet breadbasket, in 1932 and 1933 — two years after Duranty won his prize.
Ukrainian-American and other organizations have repeatedly called on the Pulitzer Prize Board to cancel Duranty's prize and The Times to return it, mainly on the ground of his later failure to report the famine.
The Pulitzer board has twice declined to withdraw the award, most recently in November 2003, finding "no clear and convincing evidence of deliberate deception" in the 1931 reporting that won the prize (see Pulitzer Board statement), and The Times does not have the award in its possession.

 WorldNetDaily: Precedent for Pulitzer withdrawal confirmed
In a previous Insight story and in other articles on the campaign to take away New York Times correspondent Walter Duranty's 1932 Pulitzer Prize for reporting on the Soviet Union because it has been proved to be deliberately fraudulent, it has been written that no Pulitzer has ever been revoked or withdrawn.
The release, faxed to Insight, says that while the Post did reveal to the Pulitzer committee that Cooke fabricated her source, it was the board that made the decision to withdraw the Pulitzer.
Gissler downplays the discrepancy, saying that whether the prize was returned or withdrawn is "largely a difference of semantics." And he still maintains that this is not the same as revoking the award, as critics of Duranty are asking the board to do regarding the 1932 Pulitzer, since Cooke technically had not accepted the prize.
