Synopsis
The founder of the largest U.S. media empire, William Randolph Hearst, Sr., changed the face of American journalism forever. Hearst, Jr., with coauthor Casserly, tells the familys story, from the golddiggings of California to the present Hearst media empire. In a detailed, straightforward, and earnest manner, the authors examine Hearst Sr.'s notorious brand of journalism, his contentious politics, his devotion to art, his obsession with San Simeon, and his complex love life. They also profile reporters and columnists who became stars of the Hearst newspapers.
