As journalists, editors and publishers of newspapers, a number of Jews have occupied, and still occupy, prominent positions. Mordecai Manuel Noah was one of the influential newspaper men of New York in his time (see above p. 162). Edwin de Leon, who has also been mentioned in a former chapter, was the editor of the _Southern Press_ of Washington, which was at that time considered the representative organ of the southern people at the national capital. Barnet Phillips (b. in Philadelphia, 1828; d. 1905) was for more than thirty years connected with the _New York Times_, which is now published by Adolph S. Ochs (b. in Cincinnati, 1858), who married a daughter of Rabbi Isaac M. Wise. A younger brother, George Washington Ochs (b. in Cincinnati, 1861), is now at the head of the _Public Ledger_ of Philadelphia, and still another brother, Milton Barlow Ochs (b. in Cincinnati, 1864) was managing editor of the _Chattanooga Times_ and is now the publisher of the _Nashville American_. Morris Phillips (1834–1904) was the chief editor and proprietor of _The New York Home Journal_ for a generation. Edward Rosewater (b. in Bohemia, 1841; a. 1854; died in ♦Omaha, Neb., 1906) was for many years the editor of the _Omaha Bee_, which became under him one of the great newspapers of the Middle West, and is now edited by his son, Victor Rosewater (b. in Omaha, 1871), who was a member of the Republican National Committee for the State of Nebraska. Philip Rapoport (b. in Germany, 1845) was for nearly twenty years editor of the _Indianapolis Tribune_. Samuel Strauss, of Des Moines, Ia., owned the _Register and Leader_ there, and was later publisher of the _New York Globe_. Joseph Pulitzer (b. in Hungary, 1847; a. 1864; d. 1911) of the _New York World_ was of Jewish descent, and so is Michael Harry de Young (b. in St. Louis, 1848), who owns and edits the _San Francisco Chronicle_. Solomon Solis Carvalho (b. in Baltimore, 1856), the son of the artist, Solomon N. Carvalho, is the general manager of W. R. Hearst’s newspapers. A large number of Jews hold various positions on the staffs of newspapers and magazines all over the country, from editors, literary, dramatic and musical critics down to reporters. Many are also engaged in the business parts of the work, as publishers, advertising managers, etc. Illustration: Mordecai Manuel Noah.
