Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Eugene Smith Pulliam (September 7, 1914 - January 20, 1999) was the publisher of the Indianapolis Star and the Indianapolis News from 1975 until his death. Pulliam began his journalism career as a child, delivering The Lebanon Reporter and The Indianapolis News. He later had an apprenticeship at the Reporter. After graduating from DePauw University in 1935, Pulliam worked for the United Press news service - in Chicago, Illinois; Detroit, Michigan; and Buffalo, New York. He then returned to Indianapolis to serve as news director of WIRE-AM. He was in the Navy and Naval Reserve during World War II and retired in 1948 as a lieutenant commander. Pulliam then returned to the Star, serving as aviation editor, assistant city editor and city editor. He was named managing editor of the News in 1948 and became assistant publisher of both papers in 1962 under his father, Eugene C. Pulliam. Eugene C. Pulliam died on June 23, 1975, leaving his son to take over the helm. The Star won two Pulitzer Prizes during the younger Pulliam's tenure - one for a series on police corruption in 1975 and Indiana's medical malpractice system in 1991.
