Joseph Pulitzer: Voice of the People
Joseph Pulitzer, a Hungarian writer who immigrated to America, spoke of “fake news” over 100 years ago and fought the dangers that the suppression of news had for a democracy long before our present threats to freedom of the press. His heroic battles have been forgotten along with the lessons we might learn from the tools he deployed against his enemies.
