The New
York Morning Journal was founded in 1882 by Albert Pulitzer
(1851–1909), the younger brother of the newspaper publisher Joseph
Pulitzer (1847–1911). Within a few years Pulitzer sold the paper to John
R. McLean (1848–1916), and, later, it was transferred to the newspaper
publisher and businessman William Randolph Hearst (1863–1951).
