Hearst
Publishing empire surname
Hearst is the surname of William Randolph Hearst, the American newspaper magnate whose media empire and sensationalist journalism helped define "yellow journalism" in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The name evokes media power, political influence, and extravagance—his California estate, Hearst Castle, became a symbol of Gilded Age excess.
The Hearst Corporation remains a major media conglomerate.
