Authoritative dictionary sources contradict the claim that a "pew" pronunciation of Pulitzer is simply incorrect.

• Merriam-Webster gives two pronunciations for Pulitzer Prize: ˈpu̇-lət-sər- and ˈpyü-, explicitly listing a /pyu/ variant.
• Dictionary.com likewise lists American pronunciations for Pulitzer as pool-it-ser, pyoo-lit-, again showing that a /pyu/ form is recognized in published dictionary pronunciation guidance.

That means the article's wording is misleading: while some usage guides or family-preference notes may favor PULL-it-ser, the /pyu/ pronunciation is documented by major dictionaries and therefore cannot accurately be described as simply "widely incorrect."
