Summary: William Randolph Hearst took charge of his father's paper, the San Francisco Examiner in 1886 when he was 23. In 1895, he acquired the New York Morning Journal. Hearst was instrumental in the development of what became known as 'yellow journalism,' and these two papers were the beginnings of what became a media empire. Homer Davenport cartooned for the Examiner and then joined Hearst in New York, where he helped popularize the Journal through a series of cartoons viciously attacking the city leaders and members of the Republican Party.
