Ochs, Adolph S[imon]( 1858–1935),
born in Cincinnati, reared in Tennessee, began his career as a newspaper publisher by purchasing the Chattanooga Times (1878). In 1896 he acquired The New York Times and, by avoiding partisan or personal bias and sensationalism, raised it to a position generally considered the most eminent among U.S. papers. An Honorable Titan (1946) is a biography by Gerald Johnson.
