Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. Like Alfred Nobel, Joseph Pulitzer is better known today for the prize that bears his name than for his contribution to history. Yet, in nineteenth-century industrial America, while Carnegie provided the steel, Rockefeller the oil, Morgan the money, and Vanderbilt the railroads, Pulitzer ushered in the modern mass media. James McGrath Morris traces the epic story of this Jewish Hungarian immigrant's rise through American politics and into journalism where he accumulated immense power and wealth, only to fall blind and become a lonely, tormented recluse wandering the globe. But not before Pulitzer transformed American journalism into a medium of mass consumption and immense influence. As the first media baron to recognize the vast social changes of the industrial revolution, he harnessed all the converging elements of entertainment, technology, business, and demographics, and made the newspaper an essential feature of urban life. Pulitzer used his influence to advance a progressive political agenda and his power to fight those who opposed him. The course he followed led him to battle Theodore Roosevelt who, when President, tried to send Pulitzer to prison. The grueling legal battles Pulitzer endured for freedom of the press changed the landscape of American newspapers and politics. Based on years of research and newly discovered documents, Pulitzer is a classic, magisterial biography and a gripping portrait of an American icon. Ex-Libris and is stamped as such. Binding is so loose that the book will stay open to any given page. Please note the image in this listing is a stock photo and may not match the covers of the actual item. Book.…

Signed by the author on the title page. James McGrath Morris (born 1954) is an American biographer. Morris has worked as a journalist, book publisher, and independent writer. He began his professional career as a radio news broadcaster in New Mexico in 1978. He then spent a decade working for radio networks, newspapers, and magazines. In 1987, Morris began working in publishing, running Seven Locks Press, a publisher of public affairs books in Washington, DC, and Public Interest Publications. In 2010, Morris published Pulitzer: A Life in Politics, Print, and Power. The Wall Street Journal deemed was one of the five best books on American moguls and one of the five best books on American newspaper publishers while Booklist placed on its 2010 list of the ten best biographies of the year. Derived from a Kirkus review: The spectacular rise of Joseph Pulitzer (1847-1911), from his humble origins in Hungary to becoming the most powerful publisher in the world. Morris offers a substantial, balanced biography of a complicated, mesmerizing figure. After emigrating to the United States during the Civil War, Pulitzer's ferocious ambition to excel and prosper sent him to the Mercantile Library in St. Louis, where he studied and learned English and began his career as a reporter on a German-language newspaper. Itching for more exposure, Pulitzer moved to New York City, where he took over the struggling New York World and converted it into a powerhouse. He eventually used his millions to endow the Columbia School of Journalism, the Missouri School of Journalism and the Pulitzer prizes. Morris ably depicts a volatile, irascible, impulsive man who verbally abused his wife and children, preached democracy, practiced autocracy and believed fervently that he was never wrong.
