Abstract:
Like Alfred Nobel, Joseph Pulitzer is better known today for the prize that bears his name than his contribution to history. Yet, in 19th-century industrial America, Pulitzer invented the modern mass media. Morris offers the definitive biography of this remarkable icon.
"Comprehensive biography of media mogul Joseph Pulitzer"--Provided by publisher.
