william randolph hearst was a fellow newspaper publisher and pulitzer's main competition. horace greely was alos big in the news world, but at this moment I don't remember if it was as a writer or publisher. (His most famous quote is on a statue they hung out at-- "Go west young man") In the movie they didn't do anything. The focus wasn't on their papers. The only time you see hearst, he is playing poker with pulitzer.

Randolph Hearst is the owner of one of the other newspapers. He provides one of the conflicts in the story, by being the competition to Mr. Pulitzer.Horace Greely was the guy the statue was made of, he owned The New Yorker, the only time that you see Hearst is when Pulitzer was getting all of the other newspaper owners to ban printing news of the newsies strike.
