This is a dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Graduate School of arts and Sciences of The Catholic University of America in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Manton Marble (1834–1917) was a New York journalist. He was the proprietor and editor of the New York World from 1860 to 1876. The New York World was formed in 1860. Marble became its proprietor and editor in 1862. He turned it into a free-trade Democratic Journal. Marble's World building was not attacked during the New York City Draft Riots of 1863, unlike the Republican newspapers The Tribune and The Times. In 1864, the World was charged with fraud after it published communications from President Lincoln that turned out to be forged. Lincoln arrested Marble and placed the World under military guard. Marble, and the World, was allowed to resume publication three days later. In 1872, the World vigorously opposed Horace Greeley's presidential campaign. Marble retired his editorial position in 1876. In 1885, he went to Europe as a delegate to the Bi-Metallic Congress. He became president of the Manhattan Club in 1888. The New York World was published in New York City from 1860 until 1931. The paper played a major role in the history of American newspapers. It was a leading national voice of the Democratic Party. From 1883 to 1911 under publisher Joseph Pulitzer, it was a pioneer in yellow journalism, capturing readers' attention with sensation, sports, sex and scandal and pushing its daily circulation to the one-million mark.

DJ front flap creased. This is one of the Film and Culture series. Louis Pizzitola is a visual artist and an amateur filmmaker. It was William Randolph Hearst who understood how to use cinema to exploit the public's desire for entertainment and to create film propaganda. Hearst saw his future and the future of Hollywood as one and the same. He pioneered and capitalized on the synergistic relationship between journalism and advertising and motion pictures. He sent movie cameramen to the inauguration of William McKinley and the front lines of the Spanish-American War. He played a prominent role in organizing film propaganda for World War I. By the 1910s, Hearst was producing his own pictures—he ran one of the first animation studios and made many popular movie serials, including The Perils of Pauline (creating both the scenario and the catchphrase title) and Patria.

Prioleau draws from letters and historical sources to reveal the unknown, sensational life of Miriam Leslie, the “Empress of Journalism” who ran the Frank Leslie company for twenty years. A century ahead of her time, she left her multimillion- dollar estate to women’s suffrage, a never-equaled amount that guaranteed passage of the Nineteenth Amendment. More
