Bay Curious - Proposition 34: Prescription Drug Spending (But Also … Rent Control?)

Today, we take a closer look at Prop 34, which takes aim at how revenues earned through a federal drug pricing program are spent by a very specific number of providers. On the surface it seems like a healthcare prop, but underneath it all is a proxy war over rent control. Reporter Aaron Schrank, who has been covering Prop 34 for NPR member station KCRW in Los Angeles, helps us understand what’s at stake.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Newspaper Wars: Pulitzer vs Hearst

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, several major Americans were the battleground for a conflict between two great powers. 

These powers were not armies or nations; rather, they were newspaper conglomerates headed by two of the most powerful figures in the history of American media. 

The competition between them was furious, and it was fought not just on the pages of their newspapers but sometimes on the streets. 

Learn more about Joseph Pulitzer, William Randolph Hearst, and the newspaper wars on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
