Spain’s harsh measures to stop the rebellion were represented for the U.S. public by many newspapers, and American sympathy for the rebels rose. Spain announced an armistice on April 9 and speeded up its new program.

“War is constituted by a relation between things, and not between persons…War then is a relation, not between man and man, but between State and State…” Being between state and state, meant that it was not the people themselves, but a higher power fighting with another higher power. In order for war to survive, it needs opinion, disagreement, a cause, and power hunger. The goal of war is to win, whether that means you either stop fighting or one side won.

Despite his lack of formal schooling, Ochs had learned the newspaper business on the job as newsboy, printer’s devil, printer, and reporter. He was 20 when he bought controlling interest in and became publisher of the failing Chattanooga Times; hearing of the financial troubles at The New York Times, he offered to become publisher in exchange for a contract that would reward him should he achieve his goal of making the paper profitable for three straight years. One of his first decisions was to add the slogan “All the News That’s Fit to Print,” his commitment to avoidance of sensationalism and adherence to high editorial standards;7 but of particular note was his decision to respond to dwindling capital in 1898 not by raising the single-copy price of the paper, but rather by reducing it, from three cents to a penny.
