People with pulitzer
Richard Outcault
Richard Outcault was the cartoonist who designedly, under the guidance of Pulitzer, created the first Sunday comic strip in newspapers. The main title was "Hogan's Alley." His first comic strip was later widely used to term the war between Pulitzer and Hearst. This comic, "The Yellow Kid," became the center of yellow journalism and America's initial involvement in the Spanish-American War. His colored strips' idea is still used today. |
Elizabeth Cochran (Nellie Bly)
"A journalist is the lookout on the bridge of the ship of state. He notes the passing sail, the little things of interest that dot the horizon in fine weather. He reports the drifting castaway whom the ship can save. He peers through fog and storm to give warning of dangers ahead. He is not thinking of his wages or of the profits of his owners. He is there to watch over the safety and the welfare of the people who trust him."
~ Elizabeth Cochran
Elizabeth Cochran was an American journalist who worked for The New York World. She used the pen name, Nellie Bly, while reporting the news. During her job at World, she became the first undercover reporter. She worked for Pulitzer during her escapades of infiltrating and exposing the government. Specifically, she performed investigative work at the Women's Lunatic Asylum. She fascinatingly pretended to be mentally insane by making crazy faces, appearing drugged, stuttering, and wildly dancing. She was placed into the asylum where she learned that many of its inhabitants were mentally stable like her. She also experienced terrible living conditions. Once she was released, she revealed the asylum's secrets in a book. This complex expedition, ordered by Pulitzer, cleared the way to a completely new type of journalism technique.
