      abstract = {Reveals how an unheralded young newspaperman from San  Francisco arrived in New York and created the most  successful daily of his time, pushing the medium to an  unprecedented level of influence and excitement, and  leading observers to wonder if newspapers might be more  powerful than kings and popes and presidents. Journalist  Kenneth Whyte offers a window onto the media world at the  turn of the 20th century as he chronicles Hearst's rivalry  with Joseph Pulitzer, the undisputed king of New York  journalism, in the most spectacular newspaper war of all  time. They battled head-to-head through the thrilling  presidential election campaign of 1896 and the  Spanish-American War--a conflict that Hearst was accused of  fomenting and that he covered in person. By 1898, Hearst  had supplanted Pulitzer as the dominant force in New York  publishing, and was on his way to becoming one of the most  powerful private citizens in 20th-century America.--From  publisher description.},
