NY Obscura Society: “Printed Rivals” a 19th-Century Murder Mystery Adventure

Step back into the 1890s and join the crack reporting teams of the great newsmen rivals Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst.

In 1897, their fiercely competitive coverage of a shocking New York murder fed an explosion of tabloid journalism that eventually helped to solve the scandalous crime.
