Joseph Pulitzer (1847-1911), a Jewish Hungarian immigrant, arrived in USA 1864. After various jobs, he became journalist, lawyer, politician, publisher and philanthropist.
Joseph Pulitzer spoke of "fake news" over 100 years ago and fought the dangers that the suppression of news had for a democracy long before our present threats to press freedom. His heroic battles have been forgotten along with the lessons we might learn from the tools he deployed against his enemies.
