A Rich Heritage
The New York Journal American traces its roots to 1882 when it was first established as the New York Morning Journal. Under the ownership of William Randolph Hearst beginning in 1895, the paper became one of the most influential publications in American history, helping shape the nation during pivotal moments including the Spanish-American War, both World Wars, and the cultural revolutions of the 20th century.
Notable figures who contributed to or were covered by the paper include Nellie Bly, Dorothy Kilgallen, John F. Kennedy (who served as a guest reporter), Jimmy Breslin, Rube Goldberg, and Ambrose Bierce.
