William Randolph Hearst
William Randolph Hearst, born in 1863 in San Francisco, was the original media mogul, a man who turned sensationalism into a fine art—and a lucrative empire. Hearst built his fortune by expanding his father’s newspaper business into a nationwide conglomerate, pioneering yellow journalism along the way. His tabloids were known for their scandalous headlines, political manipulation, and, occasionally, the truth. Hearst’s influence stretched beyond newsprint; he became a significant figure in politics and Hollywood, though not without controversy. His life, marked by power plays and excess, inspired "Citizen Kane," the film that immortalized his ambition and insecurities.
