But I want to point out that he's studying every single thing that's going on in his industry.
He's reading every single newspaper.
He's seeing all the different approaches.
And so one of the ones that he studied the most was the New York Sun.
The New York Sun is very different from the newspapers that Pulitzer worked at, which was really heavily focused on politics.
The Sun took a different position.
It said instead of reporting on international and national events of limited interest to the masses, it focused on city news, violence being its favorite topic.
and presented this news in a highly readable, though sometimes flippant, style.
In comparison with the stodgy journals favored by the city elite, The Sun was a blast of fresh air.
It was compact, always four pages long, and as the nation's first penny newspaper, it was cheap.
The Sun would sell more than 100,000 copies every day.
It was an irresistible feast of information that won wide attention in an era of generally dull journalism.
And this is what Joseph Pulitzer said about The Sun.
I read The Sun regularly.
It is the most entertaining and without exception, the best newspaper in the world.
And so as he's looking for newspapers to buy, he has a reason to be so confident.
He has an edge here and he knows it.
And the edge is that he actually could do every single job inside the newspaper.
He came from inside.
So he says, those who own newspapers scarcely ever make them.
