Joseph Pulitzer was a journalist and publisher who brought many techniques to the media during his time and more specifically the late 1800s. Pulitzer was born on
April 10, 1847 in Hungary to a very respected merchant family that ended when his father died and he emigrated to the US to find work. After going job to job struggling he managed to get a job as a reporter which would become his start of the journey. As he worked his way up the ranks at his job at the Westliche Post he eventually purchased a piece of the newspaper company and sold it so he could buy the Louis Dispatch and the
St. Louis Post which he combined to make St Louis’s current paper, the St Louis Post-
Dispatch. He remained involved until very late in his life. He helped

This in addition to many other ideas and conmcepts he made helped shape how journalism and modern media is used today
Many of his high points in his career appeared during his prime years where he found work at the Westliche Post after sparking a conversation with editors working for the successful paper. During his time at the paper’s reporter he spread yellow journalism and quickly rose up and gained a reputation as a tireless reporter who always was working on the latest story. After years of hard work, he was given controlling interest in the paper and eventually leading him to becoming the publisher of the paper. Some difficulties he faced on his journey were his deteriorating health that worsened increasingly over the years. Trying to work his hardest he ignored many health issues and continued to work. This didn't last long as he eventually lost nearly all of his sight and developed severe depression as well as a high sensitivity to noise and cut himself off from many previous ventures as a result of the many issues he faced from ignoring his worsening health over the years.
Many of Pulitzer’s stories covered issues in current life including tax evaders, gambling rings, insurance fraud, monopolies, bankers, and city corruption and

The facts of humankind contain the following: man will hunt, man will find a way to survive, man will commune, man will create hierarchy, man will lie, man will want control. Science reveals the hunting instinct as a way to survive. Sociology analyzes the communities built through hierarchy. History defines the lies leading to control. So, what is given in production of man’s searching inclination combined with creation of community, predisposition of hierarchy, and thirst for control through necessary means? Publically distributed news. An ample amount of power is given to men who have the job of hunting for scandal, using said scandal to rise above their peers, and using questionable ‘legitimacies’ to stay on top - a modernization of primal

In my personal opinion, I think that he managed to convince himself through the constant lying that he WAS producing Pulitzer worthy articles or he was the star writer of the Republic. And that is why there is the scene of himself talking to a class as if he is a person worthy of being a mentor. He clearly was excusing his downfall on other factors, such as Chuck’s relationship with the previous editor. Even prior to his downfall, he would always tell his peers that his article “probably wouldn’t be written” or his conversation with an editor elsewhere “probably meant nothing.” I think that his excessively modesty was confused with sheer arrogance and that came from him being able to convince himself from the lies.
He was very liked by the hospital employees with whom he worked. He began by solving small, individual problems for specific patients, and then generalizing and publishing the solutions,
