A fairly classically composed documentary about [Joseph Pulitzer].

By definition hagiographic. But it's not afraid to acknowledge Pulitzer's talent for making enemies on the level of a Teddy Roosevelt. Or that he was a somewhat obnoxious personality.

Joseph Pulitzer was a social reformer and a scandal-monger at the same time. That his name lives on as a synonym for excellence in journalism is a great tribute and, as we learn from this excellent documentary, a great irony

Surely the man who won the quintessential battle for the first amendment deserves better.

Great movie! Sex isnt the only thing that cells, news sells too, fake and real news. Has anyone at Fox news won a Pulitzer prize for best fake news? Now we know the origin of real news and fake news and the motivation behind each one,.... $$$$. Spoiler alert: I wonder if stress from working too hard had anything to do with Joseph Pulitzer losing his vision. If you dont get to the theater to watch this movie, set your DVR to record it on PBS and then come back here and rate it yourself.
