Kate and his children hardly ever saw him.
When he was not writing or editing, Pulitzer studied all New York papers as well as more than a dozen British, German, and French ones.
He demanded a great deal from his staff, but even more from himself.
If the paper was dull, he would head home feeling sick.
If it met his standard, he would be elated.
And then it goes back to this reoccurring theme of this hypocrisy that he had.
Pulitzer may have taunted the wealthy and attacked their political power and criticized their sense of entitlement, but he planned to be one of them.
And again, this is remarkably how talented Pulitzer was.
This is not St.
Louis.
He has a ton of competition and he has a very distinct perspective of how he's going to win in an era when the printed word
ruled supreme and 1,028 newspapers competed for readers, content was the means of competition.
The medium was not the message.
The message was, and this is where Pulitzer started.
And Pulitzer does a really smart move here.
He understands that you can't stand out by looking the same.
So at the time, the newspapers were all gray and they were all just full of text.
Pulitzer finds a very gifted cartoonist, hires him to make pictures for the newspaper, and pays him more than twice the salary that he paid his reporters.
So that gives you an insight into how important images were to Pulitzer.
And it says Pulitzer had wanted illustrations in the world since he bought the paper.
