The New York World

The New York World was a prominent newspaper in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, known for its investigative journalism and sensational reporting. Founded in 1860 by Joseph Pulitzer, it aimed to engage the public on important social issues, including corruption and poverty. The paper played a key role in the rise of "yellow journalism," characterized by eye-catching headlines and dramatic stories. Its influence helped shape public opinion and contributed to notable events, such as the Spanish-American War. The New York World ceased publication in 1931, but its legacy remains significant in the history of American journalism.
