The Pultizer Prize set up should be scrutinized more thoroughly especially the role of its Administrator. He is the one who is able to vet all incoming prize applications and appoint panels to review the applications he gives them which gives him more control than is benignly portrayed. The Administer is in a powerful position that can assure certain preordained outcomes while pretending otherwise.
Seymour Topping who worked for the NYT for 34 years and served as their Moscow correspondant was the Pulitzer Administrator from 1993 to 2002. Topping refused prior requests to review Duranty's prize
