Join The Gilded Gentleman and Michael Morganthal, a veteran journalist and professional tour guide, for this journey through the news process in late 19th-century New York.    Michael shares how the Gilded Age gave rise to a nearly 24-hour news cycle and how news was reported and transmitted.  In addition, he discusses the rise of sensational "yellow journalism" and the intense competition among titans such as Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst as the Gilded Age set the stage for the modern news machine we know today.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
