Notes

cover: William Randolph Hearst Sr. (1863–1951) was an American newspaper publisher and politician. He developed the nation's largest newspaper chain and media company. He entered the publishing business in 1887 when he was given control of The San Francisco Examiner by his wealthy father, Senator George Hearst. Moving to New York City, he acquired the New York Journal and fought a bitter circulation war with Joseph Pulitzer's New York World. Hearst's newspapers had giant headlines over stories featuring crime, corruption, sex, and innuendo. His chain of newspapers grew to nearly 30 papers in major American cities. He later expanded into magazines, creating the largest periodical publishing business in the world. Hearst controlled the political news and editorials in all his publications, which usually echoed his personal views. He was twice elected as a Democrat to the U.S. House of Representatives. He ran unsuccessfully for President of the United States in 1904, Mayor of New York City in 1905 and 1909, and for Governor of New York in 1906. His views at first matched those of the left wing of the Progressive Movement. He claimed to speak on behalf of the working class. After World War I, he gradually adopted more conservative views and an isolationist foreign policy. Originally a supporter of Franklin D. Roosevelt beginning in 1932, he soon broke with FDR and became the President's most prominent enemy.
