About the author
The New York Evening Journal was not a single person but a newspaper, so there is no traditional author biography to give. It was founded by William Randolph Hearst in 1896 as the afternoon companion to his New York morning paper, during the fierce era of New York newspaper competition.
Under Hearst, the paper became known for its mass appeal, bold headlines, and energetic popular journalism. In 1937, it was merged with the New York American to form the New York Journal-American, continuing the legacy of one of Hearst’s best-known New York papers.
Because the name refers to a publication rather than an individual author, the portrait provided here is of Hearst, the publisher most closely associated with it.
