Chapter 871 - 298, The Domineering Donnie
In later generations, if someone asked where the center of New York is, Manhattan would certainly be the most common answer!
If someone further asked where the center of Manhattan is?
Then Times Square would definitely be the most common answer. Why is it called Times Square?
Because the building of "The New York Times" stands tall right here.
However, Times Square has not been built yet, but the influence of "The New York Times" is not weak at all!
"The New York Times" was founded in 1851, and by 1896, the 38-year-old Jewish man Adolf Ochs bought more than half of the shares of "The New York Times" from chief editor Charles R. Miller for $75,000, becoming the new owner of "The New York Times"!
After becoming the new owner of "The New York Times", Adolf Ochs set a principle for running the newspaper: to publish all news that is fit to print!
The Titanic disaster gave "The New York Times" a golden opportunity to make a name for itself; they used the wireless telegraph to be the first to get the news and were nationwide leaders in publishing the story ahead of all other newspapers.
