Pulitzer's Reprise

"A free press, like a free life, sir, is always in danger."
--Ed Hucheson (Deadline U.S.A.)

Hard to imagine that today's mainstream media could be further from Joseph Pulitzer's 'able, disinterested' ideal and closer to his 'cynical, mercenary, demogogic' fault line.

What he didn't envision was the technological advancement of media platforms which instills competition and offers alternatives for information consumers.

Stated differently, the interested mainstream media is gradually losing control of the market.
