Who can tell me about the Newsies strike

Although Jack Kelly is a fictional character, the story of the Newsies was a real event that changed the course of history from 1884 to 1899. The inspiration for Newsies was based off of the 1899 Newsboy strike, which targeted one of the biggest newspaper name is New York, Joseph Pulitzer's The New York World. The face of the strike was Louis "Kid Blink" Baletti. Kid Blink was 18 during the strike, and is described by papers at the time as an "undersized boy" with red hair and an eye patch over his left eye. He also went by the nicknames "Red Blink", "Muggsy McGee" and "Blind Diamond." Kid Blink was a charismatic leader. Children who sold newspapers on the streets were called newsies. The New York newsies went up against two newspaper publishers, Joseph Pulitzer of The World and William Randolph Hearst of The Journal, to fight for a fair price for newspapers. And so the New York newsboys' union turned out to be ephemeral. But for two weeks in the summer of 1899, the children who joined together to do battle with Pulitzer and Hearst proved, to the delight of some and the astonishment of practically everyone, that they could organize, and win, a strike.
