Joseph_Pulitzer_V._William_Randolph_Hearst

Joseph Pulitzer V. William Randolph Hearst Two of the most influential journalists in history include Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst. Both men had their own beginnings, their own families, and their own ideals. Pulitzer and Hearst collided in New York in the mid-1900s. Both men ran their own newspapers (The New York World and the New York Morning Journal, respectively) and sank to levels of yellow journalism as they competed with each other. If I was going to work for one of the two men, I would prefer to work for Joseph Pulitzer. The main reasons are that Pulitzer has been described as a decent man with decent ideals; he developed tactics to sell papers while Hearst practically copied him, and he raised himself up from poverty to riches, working hard until his death. These traits in Pulitzer make me admire him, while Hearst has been labeled as a man with little or no ethics. Also, the lasting impression of Pulitzer shines more than the ideals that Hearst stood for. Joseph Pulitzer was born in Austrio-Hungary in 1847. He immigrated to the United States in his teens, and befriended the publishers of a German newspaper titled the Westliche Post pulitzer, hearst, pulitzer’s, newspaper, bates, york, working, work, new, against, william, men, man, while, two, tactics, sensationalism, sell, responsible, randolph, publisher, own, morning, morals, journalism, journal, ideals, feel, both, americans, world, valued, titled, though, stories
