Joseph Pulitzer: Voice of the People

Joseph Pulitzer, a Hungarian immigrant maintained his concern for immigrants and others less fortunate than himself, long after he became a successful newspaperman. He spoke of “fake news” over 100 years ago and fought the dangers that the suppression of news had for a democracy long before our present threats to press freedom. His heroic battles have been forgotten along with anything we might learn from the tools he deployed to fight against the enemies of truth and democracy.
