During his yellow-journalism heyday in the 1930s, Hearst dictated rat-a-tat headlines and punished political enemies in 18 big-city papers, including the New York Journal-American, the Chicago Herald-American and the Pittsburgh Sun- Telegraph. Today the company publishes 15 dailies, most of them in smaller cities such as Midland, Texas, and Bad Axe, Mich.
