Hearst’s Newspaper Empire

W. R. Hearst, proprietor of the San Francisco Examiner, and of numerous other papers in various parts of the country, has just launched another one in Atlanta, Georgia, to be called the American. This makes the tenth paper of which he is proprietor, in as many different leading cities in the United States. He spends about six million dollars a year for paper alone. Mr. Bryce, we believe it was, in giving his observations on American life, mentioned, among other things, the attempt to rule through newspapers. This seems to be one of the ambitions of Mr. Hearst.
