Great Regulars: In 1883, [Joseph] Pulitzer bought the magazine

The New York World, according to the Pulizer Web site. The purchase turned out to be the right one, as "sensationalized features" on "public and private corruption" caused the magazine's audience to steadily grow. Within a decade from his purchase, circulation for the paper climbed to 600,000 copies, making it the largest in the country, and making Pulitzer even wealthier than he had been.
