Part 7/9:
The New York World Building was an architectural marvel that symbolized the power and ambition of journalism under Joseph Pulitzer. Completed in 1890, it captured the essence of the newspaper industry during its golden age. However, the rise of radio and television journalism, coupled with urban development pressures, led to its demolition between 1955 and 1956. This destruction marked a profound shift from valuing physical architectural monuments of the press to prioritizing expansive infrastructure and modernization.
