	Encyclopedia: Lord Northcliffe
		Alfred Charles William Harmsworth, 1st Viscount Northcliffe (July 15, 1865, Dublin - August 14, 1922, London) was an influential and successful newspaper owner.
		He saved the Observer in 1905, the same year he was made Baron Northcliffe, and purchased The Times in 1908, turning it into a modern newspaper.
		Northcliffe used his papers to influence the course of World War I, first calling attention to a shell shortage in the British army and later pressing for both a Ministry of Munitions and the creation of a war cabinet.

	Jewish Terror: The Story of Lord Northcliffe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Northcliffe, who lived from 1865 to 1922, stood up to the political establishment of his time, damning Lord Kitchener during World War I when he was considered a war hero -- and thereby engendering the hatred of millions and driving the circulation of his flagship paper down by some 80 per cent.
		Northcliffe was a man who was a bit of a jingoistic nationalist -- he took regrettable anti-German and anti-Boer positions, for example -- and it is said that he would do almost anything to increase the circulation of the newspapers that he owned.
		Northcliffe, the son of an English barrister, was born Alfred Harmsworth near Dublin on the 15th of July 1865.

	First World War.com - Who's Who - Lord Northcliffe
		Alfred Charles William Harmsworth, later Alfred Lord Northcliffe (1865-1922) was a British newspaper pioneer who revolutionised magazine and newspaper publishing in Britain in the early years of the twentieth century, and who wielded significant political power through the medium of his popular dailies.
		Viewing Northcliffe as a loose cannon - and by no means returning Harmsworth's liking of him - Lloyd George attempted to bring the former into the cabinet by offering him control of the air ministry, a pet interest of Northcliffe's (who had long championed scientific and technical innovations).
		Northcliffe however recognised that this would restrict his ability to criticise the government, and so declined the post.

	George Geoffrey Dawson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He parlayed this post into a position as the Johannesburg correspondent of the Times, and attracted the attention of Lord Northcliffe, owner of the Times, who appointed him editor of the paper in 1912.
		Dawson was unhappy, however, with the way that Northcliffe used the paper as an instrument to further his own personal political agenda and broke with him, stepping down as editor in 1919.
		He also became a leader of a group of journalists that sought to influence national policy by private correspondence with leading statesmen and was close to both Stanley Baldwin and Neville Chamberlain.

		Lord Northcliffe, dominated according to his detractors by the pursuit of political power, is seen by the author of this closely observed study of his life and career, as one of the most remarkable figures in British press, political and imperial history.
		Northcliffe's insistence that its stories should be 'constructed of many short paragraphs' explaining, simplifying and clarifying the news was the secret of its success in winning a mass audience.
		Lord Salisbury, who dismissed it as a paper run by office boys for office boys, said Northcliffe had done more than any man of his generation to pervert and enfeeble the minds of the masses.

		Lord Kitchener's fight was to convince his countrymen that, regardless of whatever they might have done in past wars, they must produce an army containing the same proportion of Britain's men as the armies of Germany and France contained of Germans and Frenchmen.
		Lord Grey, British minister of foreign affairs before the war and during its early years, writes: "Conscription in the early days of the war was impossible; public opinion was not ready for it; it would have been resisted.
		Lord Kitchener told him that by early in 1916 he would have to ask for legislation to produce enough men for the army to relieve the commanding officers in the field of the fear that their forces would fall off in strength.

		An aviation enthusiast who had traveled to France to see Wright fly, Lord Northcliffe, proprietor of the widely read newspaper the Daily Mail and one of the most powerful men in England, offered a prize of 1,000 pounds ($5,000) for the first flight across the English Channel.
		Northcliffe tried to interest Wright in the exploit, privately guaranteeing him a $7,500 bonus on top of the public prize and half the net receipts from the exhibition of the Flyer in London.
		Wright was briefly tempted, but he demurred because of Orville's fear that the Flyer's engine was not reliable enough to make the Channel crossing and his own belief that "exceptional feats" were ill suited to the image of inventor that he was determined to cultivate for himself and his brother.

		Yet the Express preached "freedom and equality of opportunity for all men." It espoused a swashbuckling populism and opposed "privilege in any class of the community." As a result, it appealed equally to all ages and classes.
		His sin was to dazzle his readers with spangles and throw stardust in their eyes.
