All Industrialists, Publishers and Executives

Figures whose defining contribution to media history is building and running the companies, publications and networks of the media industry, rather than reporting, directing or inventing technology themselves. Belongs here: newspaper and magazine publishers and media company founders and executives remembered chiefly for the enterprises they built. Does not belong here: figures remembered chiefly for their own reporting, directing or inventing, even where that figure also founded a company, which are grouped under the role that actually defines their historical significance.
