Joseph Pulitzer is an American icon who spoke of "fake news" over one hundred years ago. He fought the dangers that the suppression of news had for a democracy long before our present threats to freedom. While he is remembered now for the prizes that bear his name, his own battles in the face of grave illness and presidential ire have been forgotten, along with the artistry and originality he brought to newspapers. How did this once penniless Hungarian immigrant come to challenge a popular president and fight for freedom of the press as essential to our democracy?
