Joseph Pulitzer was the founder and publisher of the New York Evening World printing company. Born in Mako, Hungary, he moved to Boston, Massachusetts in 1864 and served in the Union Army during the American Civil War After the war, he moved to St. Louis, Missouri and gained a profit from his share in the newspaper, the Westliche Post. The profit he made helped him to purchase the St. Louis Dispatch and St. Louis Post and merge them into one newspaper, known as the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. In 1883, Pulitzer moved to New York City and purchased the New York World from financial speculator, Jay Gould. The success of the New York Evening World came out of Pulitzer’s rivalry with William Randolph Hearst (founder of the New York Journal). According to Pulitzer biographers George H. Douglas and Nancy Whitelaw, the success of the New York Evening World came from Pulitzer’s decision to make daily newspaper prices cheap for consumers and focus on lower-class citizens as well as immigrants.

This specific edition of The Jersey City news includes many different stories from Washington D.C., showing that the newspaper found political news to be significant. The news covered from Washington D.C. includes information on the supreme court and justices, and even congressional decisions. The editor could have included all of this information and news from Washington D.C. because decisions made in places such as congress and the supreme court could have a large impact on cities like Jersey City.

The Jersey City News reported on many different events that occurred throughout the United States, but the paper also highlighted major world-wide current events. For example, when a Greek schooner was sunk by the Sebenico, a gunboat under control of the British Admiral commanding the British squadron in Cretan waters, the Jersey City News included it as front page news. This expresses to us that not only did the editor believe that this was important news, but also that the audience is interested in current events outside of the United States.
