. There is no better way to glimpse the issues behind the controversies that have been roiling the United States recently – in this case, the states of the Old Northwest – Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan Wisconsin, and Minnesota. But this was vacation, so I read an early copy of The Magnificent Medills: America’s Royal Family of Journalism During a Century of Turbulent Splendor , by Meghan McKinney. (The book doesn’t go on sale until October.) Regional newspapers and regional politics have been intimately connected in the past. Will they be so in the future?
The Chicago Tribune , which Joseph Medill and some colleagues purchased in 1855, gave the nation Abraham Lincoln, Dick Tracy, Little Orphan Annie, and Col. Robert McCormick. Perhaps because of the society antics of his daughters (“the worst two she-devils in all Chicago,” as their father described them), the memory of Medill has all but disappeared, except for the story of how his support was crucial to gaining the nomination for Lincoln when the Republicans gathered in Chicago for their convention (the journalism school at Northwestern University is named for him as well).
But, along with William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer, Medill was one of the great press barons of the nineteenth century, and the Ochses (who became the Sulzbergers), Bancrofts, Knights, Taylors, Chandlers, Binghams, and Grahams, who followed in the twentieth century, all learned from him. Medill’s grandson, Robert, “Bertie” to his family, was born in 1880, and went to school in England and at Groton and Yale, while his father served at an aide to Ambassador Robert Todd Lincoln in London and, later, as ambassador himself to the Austrian and Russian imperial courts. A royal newspaper family indeed.
