Founder of “Yellow Journalism” (1847-1911)
Joseph Pulitzer, another founder of “Yellow Journalism”, was actually Hungarian-born. He traveled from Hungary to Boston where he then moved to New York. When Pulitzer acquired enough money he was able to purchase the New York World. Pulitzer was the first to publish a comic in color which was the famous Yellow Kid. This gained his newspaper huge circulation and so the war between him and Hearst began. They are the founders of “Yellow Journalism” because without their need to outdo each other they gave birth to a new form of journalism. They created entertainment, shared views with the common man, and a new culture.
