Pulitzer vs Hearst: should the press inform or ignite?
PULITZER vs HEARST go head to head — and every jab is rooted in real history.
A newspaper is a public trust, Mr. Hearst - it should be a light in the dark, not a torch you throw into the crowd.
Light? Nobody buys the paper you don't read, Joseph. I give the people a war to gasp at, and they gasp - by the million.
You furnished the pictures and the war; I furnished the readers a reason to think - that is why my name endows a prize and yours endows a castle.
And every editor still chasing your prize is chasing my front page - I taught the whole trade that the story people feel will always outsell the story they merely learn.
