Pulitzer/Hearst Drama in Development from The Jackal Group

Pulitzer and Hearst are about to be portrayed through another medium, and not just the Broadway musical NEWSIES.

The Jackal Group has announced that they will be bringing the story of the media giants to life in a new television show. Based on the unethical "Yellow Journalism" era in which newspaper owners Pulitzer and Hearst spread falsehood after falsehood in order to gain the upper hand over the other, the show will be called PARK ROW.

Screenwriter Robert Rodat (Saving Private Ryan, The Patriot) has signed on to the project as writer and executive producer, alongside The Jackal Group's Gail Berman.
