The Newsies
They took on two of the richest men in America – William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer. They marched on Wall Street and held 5,000-strong rallies. Media empires shook as editors panicked.
And they were led by an 18 year old newsboy.
Tune in to hear about the magnificent Newsies of 1899, the boys and girls who controlled the flow of information through our cities. And listen up as young people of today talk about how they find things out and what makes them mad.
