Scripps, Edward Willis

Scripps, Edward Willis
(18 jun. 1854, cerca de Rushville, Ill., EE.UU.–12 mar. 1926, en alta mar cerca de Monrovia, Liberia).

Editor de periódicos estadounidense. En un comienzo fue empleado de su medio hermano, James Edmund Scripps (n. 1835–m. 1906), en periódicos de Detroit. Comenzó a editar sus propios diarios en 1878, y llegó finalmente a ser dueño de 34 periódicos en 15 estados. Fue socio fundador de la primera gran cadena de periódicos de EE.UU., la Liga de periódicos Scripps-McRae (1894). En 1907 fusionó los servicios de noticias regionales de Scripps con el nombre de United Press (después de 1958, con el de United Press International). En 1922 le transfirió sus acciones a su hijo, Robert Paine Scripps (n. 1895–m. 1938), quien junto a Roy W. Howard formó la cadena Scripps-Howard. E.W. Scripps Co. administra en la actualidad esta última cadena e incluye varios conglomerados de medios además de los periódicos.
