Book excerpt: Book Description: The story of Pulitzer, American journalist and publisher, who created along with William Randolph Hearst a new and controversial type of journalism. Pulitzer saw himself as a crusader on the side of people and a spokesman for democracy. He supported labor, attacked trusts and monopolies, and revealed political corruption. When journalism was not a respectable way of earning one's living, Pulitzer was committed to raising the standards of the profession. He was the founder of Pulitzer Prizes, today considered to be the most prestigious prize in American journalism.
