Joseph Pulitzer: The Father of Modern Newspaper Publishing
The fascinating story of the 19th century's brilliant publishing magnate, Joseph Pulitzer, covers his immigrant beginnings, his move to St. Louis and his newspaper empire.
Included in Pulitzer's colorful history is the famous "yellow journalism" rivalry with William Randolph Hearst, his struggle with ill health and eventual blindness, and his ultimate achievements - the creation of the Columbia School of Journalism, and the prestigious Pulitzer Prizes in journalism, literature, and music.
