ABOUT ADOLPH OCHS
Owner of the New York Times who laid the groundwork for modern journalism.
He took over the Times when it was a money-losing organization with plenty of competitors in New York.
He made the Times a voice of objectivity at a time when most of the newspapers were openly partisan.
He married Effie Wise, and their daughter married Arthur Hays Sulzberger who succeeded Adolph at the Times.
He and Joseph Pulitzer , the man who would lend his name to the top literary prize, were both great contributors to modern journalism.
