	Alfred Harmsworth, 1st Viscount Northcliffe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Harmsworth grew up in poverty and embarked on a career as a free-lance journalist.

		Harmsworth focused on keeping the reading public interested in the paper by keeping feature articles short, reporting on political and social gossip, and including material for women and serial stories.
