No ordinary press owners: press barons as a Weberian ideal type

Article Abstract:

Single owners of press syndicates, or press barons, were a singularly Anglo-American phenomenon and shared several characteristics. Press barons were interested in creating media empires, and often invested large amounts of capital in a single enterprise. They were often skilled, experienced journalists who created business and publishing practices still in use over a century later. Press barons can be seen, in the terms of sociologist Max Weber, as analytical constructs whose uniqueness is more significant than their shared traits.
