Photo circa 1910 of William Randolph Hearst (1863 - 1951). Hearst was an influential American newspaper magnate and leading publisher who at one stage owned nearly 30 papers in major American cities and had the largest newspaper and magazine business in the world. Hearst exercised enormous political influence and following the Titanic disaster in 1912 his papers savagely attacked the alleged cowardice of White Star Line Managing Director Joseph Bruce Ismay after Ismay survived by taking a place in a lifeboat. The famous Orson Welles film "Citizen Kane" (1941) was loosely based in part on Hearst's life story. Photo by Bain News Service.
