Frank E. Gannett, 1876-1957

1 -- Frank E. Gannett Papers

Biographical Outline

Gannett Company Inc. is a nationwide information company that publishes ninety daily newspapers, including USA 1bday, thirty-nine non-daily newspapers, and USA Weekend. It also operates eight television stations, sixteen radio stations, and owns the largest outdoor advertising firm in North America. The company was created in 1923 by Frank E. Gannett, whose acquisitions and consolidations significantly shaped twentieth century American journalism. Frank Ernest Gannett was born on September 15, 1876 at Gannett Hill, near Bristol, Ontario County,NewYork.According to the familygenealogy,the Gannett family had come from Dorsetshire, England, in 1638 to settle in Hingham, Mas- sachusetts, on the south shore of Massachusetts Bay. Frank Gannett's great- grandfather Joseph served with the Minute Men. Joseph's brother, Benjamin, married Deborah Sampson who, disguised as a boy, served as a soldier in the Continental Army. In 1944, Frank Gannett's daughter Sally dedicated a Liberty Ship named for Deborah Sampson Gannett. After the Revolutionary War, Joseph Gannett moved west to New York State. He bought land in Lafayette, near Syracuse. His son Warren owned a large farm north of Syracuse, as well as 750 acres of timberland on an island in Lake On- tario, offshore from Sackett's Harbor. Warren had three daughters and six sons. During the Civil War, Warren's fourth son, Joseph Charles, served in Company H of the Second New York Cavalry under General Philip Sheridan. After the war, he married Maria Brooks. With their families, Joseph and three of his brothers moved to marginal farm land near Bristol, New York where Frank was born. Many years later, Frank Gannett bought this land and built a weekend home there overlooking Canandaigua Lake. Joseph Gannett moved several times during the next few years. After a short time as a tenant farmer at Blood's Depot (now Atlanta, New York), Joseph Gan- nett became the proprietor of a series of hotels, in Howard, Wallace, Bolivar, and Oneonta, New York. While living at Blood's Depot, Frank began his newspaper career as a newsboy for the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. Frank delivered the Buffalo Times and the Buffalo News when the family moved to Bolivar. He also began to report local news, earning one dollar per story. Frank attended Bolivar Union School and Academy.When the familymoved to Oneon- ta, he remained to finish his studies and graduate. Frank Gannett won a scholarship to attend Cornell University in 1894. Dur- ing his freshman year, Gannett waited on tables, delivered laundry, and ushered at Sage Chapel. At the end of the year, he was elected class representative to the Board of Editors of the Cornell Daily Sun. His regular beat was the univer-

2 sity president's office. There he frequently interviewed President Jacob Gould Schurman, who served as a major influence on his career. The next year, the Ithaca Journal hired him as its campus reporter. Gannett also submitted copies of stories about campus events to newspapers in Buffalo, Syracuse, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Chicago. He eventually hired other students to provide additional copy. That summer, Gannett worked as a general reporter for the Syracuse Herald. As a senior, Gannett concentrated on the study of economics, writing his final thesis on "The History of Insurance Legislation in New York State:' After graduating in 1898, Gannett returned to Ithaca to do graduate work in history, economics, and literature, but he soon became completely occupied in reporting campus events. After Christmas vacation, he received a telegram from Jacob Gould Schurman offering him a position as his secretary while Schur- man headed the First Philippine Commission. (President William McKinley had appointed Schurman to head this commission to visit the Philippines, which the United States had just acquired in the Spanish-American War. The commission's charge was to recommend a plan for governing the islands.) While in the Philippines, Gannett learned Spanish, and translated a well-knownFilipino book, Noli Me Tangereby Jose Rizal under the title Friars and Filipinos. He also wrote long descriptiveletters to the Syracuse Herald and kept a journal. The Commission completed its work late in 1899.

Journalism Gannettreturnedto Ithacain 1899as cityeditorofthe IthacaDaily News. He later became business manager with overallresponsibilityfor the operation ofthe paper. Aftera politicaland commercialdisagreementwith the owner in- volvinga politicalparty printing contract, Gannett left the DailyNews in 1905. He workedfor a short time for Frank Leslie'sIllustrated Weeklyand then edited The Index, a similarpublication in Pittsburgh. On a visitto Ithaca, he met a young man named Erwin R. Davenport who had just bought an interest in the Elmira Gazette. Davenport needed a partner to handle the news and editorials while he managed the business operations. The Gazette was an afternoon paper of Democratic sympathies. In 1906, at the age of twenty-nine, Frank Gannett purchased a half interest in the Elmira Gazette for $20,000. The next year, Gannett and Davenport merged the Elmira Gazette with the Evening Star (owned by Isaac Seymour Copeland and James F. Woodford) to form the Elmira Star- Gazette. In 1912, Gannett purchased the Ithaca Journal. While the Elmira Star- Gazette was a Democratic paper, the Ithaca Journal had always been a Repub- lican paper. Gannett's management philosophy permitted each paper to maintain its own editorial policy,a position that he would retain throughout his career. Seeking to expand their holdings, Gannett and his partners purchased two of the three afternoon papers in Rochester, combining them as the Times-Union in 1918.Gannett and Davenport movedto Rochester to direct the newpaper.

3 There Gannett was introduced to Caroline Werner, the daughter of William E. Werner, Judge of the New York State Court of Appeals. They were married in March 1920. Although Gannett's newspaper holdings continued to expand and his various business and political interests led him to travel widely, Frank and Caroline Gannett always considered Rochester their home. Gannett and his partners further expanded their holdings by purchasing and combining the two Utica afternoon papers, the Herald-Dispatch and the Ob- server to form the Utica Observer-Dispatch in 1921. Tho years later, they acquired the Elmira 1elegram, a Sunday paper, and the Elmira Advertizer, a morning paper, giving them control of the entire Elmira market. Gannett repeated the process in Ithaca when he bought the Ithaca Daily News and merged it with the Journal. To formalize the consolidated enterprises in Elmira, Utica, and Rochester, Gannett and his partners created the Empire State Group in 1923. Later that year, Gannett formed the Gannett Company. By selling stock in this new corporation, Gannett bought out his partners and established independent ownership. Davenport and Gannett remained close personal friends, and Davenport rejoined the company in Rochester fourteen years later. The success of the Rochester venture provided the base from which Gannett newspapers achieved national prominence. The 1920s represented the period of Gannett's greatest expansion. In 1928, he acquired the Hartford Times, the Knickerbocker Press and the Evening News (both Albany), the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, as well as the Brooklyn Eagle, which he resold in 1932. He merged the Knickerbocker News with the Evening News to form one afternoon paper in 1937. An agreement with Wil- liam Randolph Hearst led Gannett to abandon the morning and Sunday field in Albany in return for Hearst interests in Rochester. In 1943, he purchased the Binghamton Press. By 1948, Gannett owned or controlled twenty newspapers in fifteen cities and towns, and partial interest in an additional paper-the nation's largest newspaper chain in number of papers. Only three of the papers were published outside New York State. Affiliated with the Gannett group were six radio stations. Management was decentralized, with each paper maintain- ing its own editorial and circulation policies. The only exception consisted of a ban on alcohol advertising. A dispute with the International1Ypographical Union led Gannett to investigate the possibilities of replacing pressed type in the 1920s. Gannett helped the Teletype Corporation to develop a machine that could produce paper tape which could be "read" by a typesetting machine. The Thletypesetter Corpora- tion was formed with Gannett as a member of the board of directors and minority stockholder. Gannett's continuing interest in technological advances also contributed to the development of a simplified photoengraving process. In September 1935, Gannett announced the formation and incorporation of the Frank E. Gannett Newspaper Foundation. As owner of the Class A common stock of the Gannett Company, the Foundation assumed control of all

4 Gannett newspapers. Under the terms of incorporation, all of the Foundation's resources were to be devoted to "public, charitable, educational, and general philanthropic uses and purposes:' Eventually, tax law changes forced the Foun- dation to divest itself of much of the stock, but as owner of 11% of the company, it remained the company's largest shareholder. In 1980, it was renamed The Gannett Foundation. Among the nation's twenty largest private foundations, with assets of more than $570 million, its 1986 grants and program-related ex- penses totaled more than $24 million. Although a private foundation, the Gan- nett Foundation supports community-based programs in areas where Gannett Company, Inc. has subsidiaries. The foundation also funds national programs for improving journalism education and professionalism, promoting adult liter- acy,and advancing philanthropy and volunteerism; it supports a variety of scholar- ships as well. Its two operating programs are the Gannett Center for Media Studies at Columbia University,the nation's first institute for the advanced study of mass communication and technological change, and the Paul Miller Washington Reporting Fellowships in Washington! DC.

Politics During the 1920s, Gannett became involvedin political issues. An interest in farmproblemswasreinforcedby his electionin 1926to the Board of1h1stees ofCornell University.CornellagriculturaleconomistGeorgeFrederick Warren heavilyinfluencedGannett's thinking. Manyof Gannett's early speeches dealt with Warren's price theory. In 1934, Gannett became further identified with monetary policywhen he became chairman of the Board of Directors of the American Agriculturist,which wasedited in Ithaca and influenced by Warren and other facultyat the CollegeofAgricultureat Cornell.Duringthe NewDeal, Gannett opposed Roosevelt'sfarmpolicyin associationwiththe NewYorkDairy- men's League, headed by Fred Sexauer,and with the National Grange. In the 1936 presidential primaries, Gannett agreed to run as the vice- presidential candidate with Senator WilliamBorah for the Republican nomination. AlfredM.Landon eventuallywonthe nomination. AfterdefeatingLan- don by a landslide, Franklin Rooseveltthen pressed for legislationthat would increase the size of the Supreme Court by as manyas six morejustices. Sena- tor Borah urged Gannett to form a committee to oppose the "court-packing" bill. Gannett spent $50,000 to found the National Committeeto Uphold Con- stitutional Government.The committeemounted one ofthe first "direct-mail" campaigns, mailingover ten millionpieces of literature in its first six months. The campaign succeeded and the bill was narrowlydefeated. Gannett'ssuccessin the court-packingcase and his oppositionto certainother NewDealpoliciesled himto run forpresident in 1940as "the man whostopped Roosevelt".Although Gannett receivedthirty-three votes on the first ballot in the Republican convention, it was clear that he could win only if a deadlock occurred. When the third ballot showed that more votes were going to Wen-

5 - dell Willkie, most of Gannett's delegates switched their allegiance and Willkie was nominated on the sixth ballot. Gannett remained politically active. In 1942, he served as Assistant Chair- man of the Republican National Committee. He also proposed a new coalition party in which Republicans and dissatisfied Democrats could unite to defeat the New Deal. His direct involvement gradually decreased as he devoted time to philanthropic interests including the Navy Relief Society, the American Red Cross, the United Negro College Fund, the Gannett Youth Center in Rochester, Cornell University, and various other educational institutions. Continuing his interest in agricultural issues and particularly the problem of world hunger, Gan- nett joined with state agricultural officials to hold a National Food Conference in Chicago in 1943. In 1946, the United States War Department invited Gannett to join a representative group of editors and publishers to visit the occupation zone in Europe and to observe political, social, and economic conditions in Germany. Gannett, deeply impressed by what he saw,concluded a series written when he returned: '~ . . in my opinion what happens in Europe in the next two or three years may determine the whole future of the world, decide whether we shall have another war which, according to scientists, might end our civilization. . . . The biggest problem in the world today is food. . . . Next to food, the one common topic in Europe is Russia:' Labor troubles in Rochester prevented Gannett's partici- pation in a similar trip to the Far East in December 1946. In November printers from the Democrat and Chronicle and the Times-Union had struck in a wage dispute that lasted three months. He was able, though, to join a group of publishers on the Pan American Airwaysinaugural "Round-the-World" flight in June 1947. Despite declining health, Gannett maintained an interest in politics. In 1952, he wrote an open letter to President Dwight D. Eisenhower urging him to cre- ate a cabinet-level Department of Peace. Frank E. Gannett died at his home in Rochester on December 3, 1957.
