The Times was founded in 1788 by newsprint publisher John Walter in the hopes of reaching a widespread audience. After Walter was imprisoned for printing a critique of the Prince of Wales, his son, John Walter II, steered The Times into further controversy by printing articles favoring parliamentary reform. The Times was later successively edited by Thomas Barnes, John Delane and Thomas Chernery. Purchased by Lord Northcliffe in 1908, who hired Geoffrey Dawson as an editor, and later Henry Wickham Steed., The Times was passed on to John Jacob Astor following Lord Northcliffe's death in 1922.
