Young William Randolph Hearst goes to war against an ageing Joseph Pulitzer as each tries to monopolize coverage of a mysterious homicide capturing New York’s imagination, birthing the modern concept of sensationalist media coverage.

"Challenging an aging Joseph Pulitzer as each tries to monopolize New York's fiery imagination about a mysterious homicide , Young William Randolph Hearst gives birth to the modern concept of sensationalist media coverage."

I think these are roots for a good movie that can be told from many POV:
- An inciting incident: a mysterious homicide in New York
- Two heros/antagonists
- Two flaws : inexperience, age
- Two advantages : youth, experience
- One shared goal : monopolize New York's fiery imagination
- One shared stake : the win

This is just a duel.
