Biography:
Colonel Robert R. McCormick (1880-1955) was a prominent and influential figure in 20th-century American media and publishing. As the long-time publisher, editor, and owner of the Chicago Tribune, he shaped the newspaper into a powerful and often controversial voice.
McCormick inherited a substantial fortune, allowing him to pursue his interests in law and journalism. He served in the Illinois National Guard and saw action in World War I, earning the rank of Colonel, a title he embraced throughout his life.
His staunchly conservative political views, including isolationism and anti-New Deal sentiments, were reflected in the Tribune's editorial stance. He often used the newspaper to promote his own agenda and influence public opinion.
Beyond the Tribune, McCormick founded WGN radio and television, further expanding his media empire. He was known for his strong personality, eccentricities, and significant impact on American journalism and political discourse.
