''The Tribune set a new standard in American journalism by its combination of energy in news gathering with good taste, high moral standards, and intellectual appeal. Police reports, scandals, dubious medical advertisements, and flippant personalities were barred from its pages; the editorials were vigorous but usually temperate; the political news was the most exact in the city; book reviews and book-extracts were numerous; and as an inveterate lecturer Greeley gave generous space to lectures. The paper appealed to substantial and thoughtful people.''<ref>Nevins in ''Dictionary of American Biography'' (1931)</ref></blockquote>

Greeley prided himself in taking radical positions on all sorts of social issues; few readers followed his suggestions.  Utopia fascinated him; influenced by [[Albert Brisbane]] he promoted [[Fourierism]].  He promoted all sorts of agrarian reforms, including homestead laws. The ''Tribune Almanac'' was an annual repsotory of political information and election statistics.

Greeley supported generous policies towards settlers; he memorably advised the ambitious to "Go West, young man."  A champion of the working man, he attacked monopolies of all sorts and rejected land grants to railroads.  Industry would make everyone rich, he insisted, as he promoted high tariffs.  He supported vegetarianism, opposed liquor and paid serious attention to any ism anyone proposed.  What made the ''Tribune'' such a success was the extensive news stories, very well written by brilliant reporters, together with feature articles by fine writers.  He was an excellent judge of newsworthiness and quality of reporting.
