Why Is Conrad Black Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Conrad Moffat Black, Baron Black of Crossharbour , is a Canadian and British former newspaper publisher, businessman, and writer. His father was businessman George Montegu Black II, who had significant holdings in Canadian manufacturing, retail and media businesses through part-ownership of the holding company Ravelston Corporation. In 1978, two years after their father's death, Conrad and his older brother Montegu took majority control of Ravelston. Over the next seven years, Conrad Black sold off most of their non-media holdings in order to focus on newspaper publishing. Black controlled Hollinger International, once the world's third-largest English-language newspaper empire, which published The Daily Telegraph , Chicago Sun-Times , The Jerusalem Post , National Post , and hundreds of community newspapers in North America, before controversy erupted over the sale of some of the company's assets.
