Richard Kyle Fox

 

Pioneer of ‘yellow journalism’

 

The Irishman who sold sex, sport and sensationalism in late nineteenth-century America.

 

Years before Joseph Pulitzer’s New York World and William Hearst’s New York Journal managed to master and monopolize the techniques of what later became known as

‘yellow journalism’, Richard Kyle Fox had been the pioneer. Printed on pink paper, and often featuring frolicking females on its front cover, the National Police Gazette provided an assortment of crimes, scandalous tales, extraordinary endeavours and the latest sports news. Wherever men gathered, from bar rooms to hotel lobbies, the ‘barbershop bible’, as it became known, was a welcome diversion from the stern decorum of the Gilded Age.
