New York Tribune
The New York Tribune was a major American newspaper on the 19th century, under the editorship (1841-1872) of founder 1841 Horace Greeley. It was the official organ of the Whig Party and after 1855 of the new Republican Party.
The Tribune was America's most influential newspaper from the 1840s to the 1870s and "established Greeley's reputation as the greatest editor of his day."[1] Greeley used it to promote the Whig Party and after 1854 the new Republican party, as well as antislavery and a host of reforms. The paper appeared in daily editions for city readers. Its abridged weekly editions were read very widely by Republicans across the North, and helped shape the editorials of hundreds of local papers.
Karl Marx was a paid correspondent in the 1850s, giving detailed reports on European politics. (Marx did not promote Marxism in these articles.)[2]
It lost importance in the 20th century and was merged into other papers in 1924 and folded in 1967.
