Pulitzer, Joseph (1847–1911), Hungarian‐born newspaper proprietor, came to the U.S. (1864), worked in St. Louis on the German Republican paper of Carl Schurz, and published his own paper there. He purchased the
New York World (1883), which he made into a flamboyant symbol of yellow journalism, although it later turned to a more conservative policy, championing the Democratic party. He bequeathed funds to found the Pulitzer Prizes.
