1811 1872 Editor Greeley Horace Journalist Reid Succeeded Tribune Whitelaw
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, two giants of American journalism are seen together: Horace Greeley (1811-1872) and Whitelaw Reid (1810-1912). Greeley, a pioneering figure in American journalism, founded the New York Tribune in 1841 and served as its editor until his death. He was known for his editorial stance on abolitionism and his support for the Republican Party. Reid, on the other hand, succeeded Greeley as editor of the New York Tribune in 1872, following Greeley's death. Reid's tenure at the Tribune saw the paper's continued growth and influence, and he went on to serve as the U.S. Minister to France from 1897 to 1901. The photograph captures a moment in time when the baton of editorial leadership was being passed from one great journalist to another. Greeley, with his distinctive beard and intense gaze, sits to the left of the image, while Reid, slightly younger and more formally dressed, sits to the right. The two men appear deep in conversation, their heads leaned in towards each other, suggesting a thoughtful exchange of ideas. This image is a testament to the rich history of American journalism and the enduring legacy of the New York Tribune. It is a reminder of the important role that journalists have played in shaping the political and social landscape of the United States, and of the continuity and tradition that has characterized the profession over the years. The exact date of this photograph is not known, but it is believed to have been taken some time between 1872, when Reid succeeded Greeley as editor, and 1876, when Greeley passed away. Despite the lack of specific details, this photograph remains a valuable historical artifact, shedding light on the lives and careers of two influential figures in American journalism.
