J. JONAH JAMESON

J. Jonah Jameson is a supporting character and antagonist of Spider-Man in the Marvel Comics Universe.

Jameson is usually the publisher or editor-in-chief of the Daily Bugle, a fictional New York newspaper and now serves as the mayor of New York City. Recognizable by his moustache, flattop haircut, and ever-present cigar, he carries out a smear campaign against Spider-Man

that has turned much of the city against the hero. He employs Peter Parker, who unbeknownst to him is Spider-Man's alter ego, as a photojournalist.

Randolph Hearst

William Randolph Hearst (April 29, 1863 – August 14,

1951) was an American newspaper magnate and leading newspaper publisher. Hearst entered the

publishing business in 1887, after taking control of The San

Francisco Examiner from his father.

Moving to New York City, he acquired The New York Journal and engaged in a bitter circulation war with

Joseph Pulitzer's New York World which led

to the creation of

yellow journalism—sensationalized

stories of dubious veracity. Acquiring more newspapers, Hearst created a

chain that numbered nearly 30 papers in

major American cities at its peak. He

later expanded to magazines, creating

the largest newspaper and

magazine business in the world.

Beginning with one newspaper in Adelaide, Murdoch acquired and started other publications in his native Australia before

expanding News Corp. into the United Kingdom, United States and Asian media markets. Although it was in Australia in the late 1950s that he first dabbled in television, he later sold these assets, and News Corp.'s Australian current media

interests (still mainly in print) are restricted by cross-media ownership rules. Murdoch's first permanent foray into TV was in the USA, where he created Fox Broadcasting Company in 1986. In the 2000s, he became a leading investor in satellite

television, the film industry and the Internet, and purchased a leading American newspaper, The Wall Street Journal. He and

his media are leading backers of conservative causes.
