Join film director, writer and producer Oren Rudavsky on Zoom for a Q & A on April 25, 2021 at 3:00PM about the life and legacy of Joseph Pulitzer, the father of modern journalism, as depicted in the movie "Joseph Pulitzer: Voice of the People".
You can watch the movie anytime between Tuesday, April 20, 2021 through Sunday, April 25, 2021.

As a Jewish immigrant from Hungary, Joseph Pulitzer began as a gifted journalist before becoming a successful publisher and businessman. He was famous in his own time for his outspoken and cantankerous editorial voice and his newspapers' striking illustrations, visual style, national circulation and financial success.

Against the context of America's explosive growth as a world force during the Gilded Age, Pulitzer emerged as the country's first media titan, reshaping the newspaper to bear witness to and even propel that transformation.
Joseph Pulitzer championed what he regarded as the sacred role of the free press in democracy.
