In the late–19th and early–20th centuries, William Randolph Hearst built a media empire fueled by sensationalism. He called it “yellow journalism,” and the focus was sex, violence, and scandal. Hearst’s approach did not go unnoticed and many in the public, including caricaturists, ridiculed him. This exhibition highlights the backlash, which culminated in one of the greatest films ever made—1941’s Citizen Kane, directed by, produced by, and starring Orson Welles. A thinly veiled biographical account of Hearst’s life, the film forever tarnished the media mogul’s legacy. —Elena Clavarino
