"Albert Londres (1884-1932), was a pioneer of investigative journalism in the early 20th century. In his search for the truth, Londres traveled across the world documenting cruelty and injustice and his reports for the French press helped change public opinion and policies towards penal colonies, forced labor, mental asylums and the exploitation of black Africans. The Wandering Jew Has Arrived is based on a series of articles he wrote for the French newspaper Le Parisien. The Albert Londres Prize, on a par with the Pulitzer Prize, is awarded every year to the top two journalists in France."
