Pulitzer bought the New York World in 1883. He changed it from a traditional newspaper into a very e*citing one overnight. He added lots of illustrations and he told his reporters to write articles on every crime they could find. And they did. One woman reporter even pretended she was mad and was sent to a hospital. She then wrote many articles about the poor treatment of patients in those hospitals where madmen were kept. In 1895, Hearst came to New York from California.

Hearst attracted attention because his newspaper headings were bigger than anyone elses. He often said, “Big print makes big news.”Pulitzer and Hearst did anything they could to sell newspaper. For e*ample, Hearst sent Frederic Remington, the famous illustrator, to draw pictures of the Spanish-American War. When he got there, he told Hearst that no fighting was going on. Hearst answered, “You provide the pictures. Ill provide the war.”61. About a century ago, American newspaper carried news about _.
