Joseph Pulitzer: Journalism Giant

Pulitzer, best known for the Holy Grail of journalism, the Pulitzer Prize, was a living contradiction: a foreign-born xenophobe, a super-rich muckraker, an advocate of ethics and truth who engaged in yellow journalism and a champion of the poor who called Huckleberry Finn "a vulgar country boy."
