Ben Franklin graces the Pulitzer Prize Gold Medal. The Pulitzer Prize is given for journalistic excellence so it makes sense that the first major US journalist would be the face of the medal. On the back of the medal is an image of the type of printing press Franklin would have used. The winning news organization is engraved on the Franklin side of the medal and the year of the award is engraved on the printing press side. Its a beautiful medal!
