The newspapers under Pulitzer relied mostly on what for revenue?

  • Political Party Subsidies

  • Cover Price

  • Government Funding

  • Advertising

Answer

The newspapers under Pulitzer relied mostly on advertising for revenue. Pulitzer's papers were known for their sensationalistic headlines and stories, which attracted a large readership. This readership was then sold to advertisers, who paid to have their products or services advertised in the papers. The money from advertising helped to keep the papers afloat and allowed Pulitzer to continue publishing his controversial and often-unpopular stories.
