42. Charles Dana and New York Sun

The beginning of the life of this prominent American journalist was very unfavorable. A poor student who was expelled from Harvard and lived in one of the many utopian communes in America at that time. Dana, at 22, was a loser who was embittered by the whole world and therefore wanted to destroy it “to the ground”. He threw his thunder and lightning at the unfair system from the pages of a rather cocky, but known only to a narrow circle of readers the Fourierist Harbinger newspaper.

A lucky break brought Dan to Greeley and helped him to the very top of American journalism. Greeley discovered talent in a budding journalist and brought him closer to him. From 1850, Dana actually became the right hand of Greeley.

At the new place revealed the brilliant abilities of a young journalist. His sharp, sarcastic humor markedly revived the newspaper. In many ways, thanks to Dana, for many years she took a consistent anti-slavery position. Soon, Dana received a stake in the Tribune, became a co-owner and single-handedly resolved all issues when Greeley was absent.

However, friction grew between companions, and in 1862, Greeley pointed to his assistant at the door. Although this event left a deep wound in Dana’s soul, the trouble turned out to be reparable. Now he was rich enough and well-known, and in 1868, in club with other people, he bought San for 175 thousand dollars. Dana did not try to change the direction of the “yellow press” queen, did not try to make her a similarity to “Tribune”, but left her what she used to be — the most sensational, most scandalous and cheapest newspaper in America.

He was the editor of the Sun in New York in 1868,

Under Dana's control, The Sun opposed the Andrew Johnson; Grant for the presidency in 1868; it was a sharp critic of Grant as president; and in 1872 took part in the Liberal Republican Revolt and urged the Greeley's nomination.

Dana made a statement. He was criticized by the government during the law on the peace law. . It was a decree on the United States of America. unconstitutional. It’s possible that it’s a different story.
