Episode 2 tackles the battle between William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer, and how they resorted to yellow journalism in an effort to outsell each other.  

Later in the episode, we are joined by Professor Chris Daly of Boston University. Professor Daly is a journalist, author, and historian. After 10 years at the Associated Press and nearly 10 more at the Washington Post, he has been teaching at Boston University since 1997. 
Professor Daly is a co-author of:

• “Like A Family” (UNC, 1987), winner of the Beveridge Prize
• “Covering America” (UMass 2012), PROSE Award
• "The Journalist’s Companion” (Routledge, 2018)

And he is writing a new book, “The Democratic Art,” about the role of journalism in the rise of American culture.
