 §20. Horace Greeley—"The New York Tribune". XXI. Newspapers, 1775–1860. Vol. 16. Early National ...
The New York Tribune under Horace Greeley exhibited the best features of the new and semi-independent personal journalism based upon political beginnings and inspired with an enthusiasm for service that is one of the fine characteristics of the period.
In editing the New Yorker Greeley had acquired experience in literary journalism and in political news; his Jeffersonian and Log Cabin, popular campaign papers, had brought him into contact with politicians and extended his acquaintance with the masses.
He strongly advocated the protective tariff because he believed that it was for the advantage of the workingman; and the same sympathy led him to give serious attention to the discussion of women’s rights with special reference to the equal economic status of women.

 New York Tribune - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New York Tribune was established by Horace Greeley in 1841 and was long considered one of the leading newspapers in the United States.
The Tribune was created by Greeley with the hopes of providing a straightforward, trustworthy media source in an era when newspapers such as the New York Sun and New York Herald thrived on sensationalism.
Under Reid's son Ogden Mills Reid the paper acquired the New York Herald to form the New York Herald Tribune, which continued to be run by Ogden M. Reid until his death in 1947.

 New York Architecture Images- New York Tribune Building
Not far away on Broad St., between Water and Front, the New York Journal, with John Holt as editor, was a strong voice for these colonies’ independence.
The New World Building, once known as the “World Tower,” was demolished in the early 1950s to make way for new approaches to the Brooklyn Bridge.
The building may not stand forever, but the tradition of New York journalism lives in the small papers still thriving in what was once the true center of our city.

But the “New York Times” never printed a word about it until 1992, when the newly elected President Yeltsin of Russia opened the former Soviet giant bioweapons part of the project to international inspection and thus forced the Western media to report it.
He has never mentioned in the “New York Times” what my “Commentary” article said or what I told him, though the fact of the Soviet development of post-nuclear weapons and the fact that the CIA does not exist as such were more important than all that the “New York Times” printed.

 Horace Greeley, Editor of the New York Tribune, Including His Lifelong Ties to the Universalist Church
His fierce New England-style sense of morality was displayed in trenchant editorials advocating a mixture of his own social reformist causes, such as workers' rights and temperance, with more conservative Whig positions on protective tariffs, internal improvements, and recharter of the Bank of the United States.
When he first came to New York City in 1831, Greeley was a journeyman printer, an experienced writer and debater, and already a staunch supporter of the Whig party.
Although in 1841 he announced that his new Tribune would shun "servile partisanship," he continued to editorialize for the Whig cause and violently against what he called the "Loco-Foco" Democratic Party, until the Whig coalition began to fracture over the issue of legalizing slavery in the territories.

 New York Tribune, Articles Concerning the 11th Corps at Chancellorsville
To Colonel Buschbeck with his brigade comprising the 27th and 73rd Pennsylvania volunteers and the 29th and 154th New York is due the credit of having saved from capture the train and artillery of the corps.
Berry's division formed across the plank road, midway between Chancellorsville and Dowdall's cavern; his right well in the wood north of the road, and the artillery massed on a hill to his left; in the position he received and repulsed the attack of Stonewall Jackson, for he it was who led this desperate attack.
It was necessary to maintain intact the left wing and hold the line from the plank road to the river at Scott's Dam; it was equally a necessity to resist the seizure by the enemy of the United States Ford Road.

 Greenfield: Democrats, westward ho? - CNN.com
NEW YORK (CNN) -- More than 140 years ago, Horace Greeley, editor of the New York Tribune, uttered a famous piece of advice to an advice-seeker: "Go West, young man." Democrats seem to be heeding that advice as they look to expand their electoral base.
We're talking about the "interior West." While the Pacific Coast has been reliably Democratic for the last four elections, and where five of six Senate seats are held by Democrats, the interior West is very different.
They hold Senate seats in New Mexico, Colorado, Montana, and Nevada --Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid's home state -- and have a better than even chance of picking up the other Montana seat, where John Tester is challenging Sen. Conrad Burns.
