New York Tribune
The New-York Tribune was an American newspaper. It was founded by Horace Greeley as a Whig Party newspaper in April 1841.[1] Between 1842 and 1866, the newspaper was called the New-York Daily Tribune.[1] The tribune not only reported the news, it covered subjects such as politics, literary works, social reform and intellectual achievements.[2] Greeley, through the Tribune, supported the beginnings of Republican Party.[3] In 1860 the Tribune supported Abraham Lincoln as President of the United States and during the Civil War.[1] However, the paper opposed his reelection in 1864.[1] For some time the paper had the largest circulation in the United States.[3] The Tribune's editorials were widely read and helped shape national opinion. In 1924 it was merged with the New York Herald to form the New York Herald Tribune. It remained a major US daily newspaper until it ended publication in 1966.[4]
