San Francisco and New York, 1863 to 1951. The only son of a Nevada silver fortune asks his father for a failing newspaper, gets it, and spends sixty years discovering what a newspaper can be made to do. He buys circulation, buys staff, buys rivals, buys a war's worth of coverage and very nearly a presidency. At the peak he owns twenty-eight dailies and one American family in four reads him; eleven years later a judge controls his company and he cannot sign a check. The question the volume turns on is not whether the press can be bought. It is what happens to a press that has been built, deliberately and at enormous cost, to serve one man's purposes — and what it costs him. Covers William Randolph Hearst, San Francisco Examiner, New York Morning Journal, Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping, and Harper's Bazaar.
