Edward Hulton
Sir Edward Hulton, 1st Baronet (3 March 1869 – 23 May 1925) was a British newspaper proprietor and thoroughbred racehorse owner.
In 1921, he was awarded a baronetcy, of Downside in the parish of Leatherhead in Surrey, for public services during World War I, which became extinct on his death in 1925.
Hulton was born on 3 March 1869 in Hulme, Manchester. He was the second son of Edward Hulton (1838–1904), a Manchester newspaper publisher, and his wife, Mary Mosley.
He was raised as a Roman Catholic in Whalley Range, Manchester and attended St Bede's Commercial College from 1878–85.
Hulton's father founded the Sporting Chronicle in 1871, the Athletic News in 1875 and the Sunday Chronicle in 1885. Hulton subsequently founded the Manchester Evening Chronicle in 1897 (renamed the Evening Chronicle in 1914), the Daily Dispatch in 1900 and the Daily Sketch, a tabloid, in 1909.
Edward Hulton and Co., of London and Manchester, a private company of proprietors, printers and publishers that owned a large group of newspapers was sold for £6 million when Hulton retired due to illness in 1923. The newspapers sold, which were subsequently controlled by Lord Beaverbrook and Lord Rothermere, included: Sporting Chronicle, Athletic News, Sunday Chronicle, Empire News, Evening Standard, Daily Sketch, Sunday Herald, Daily Dispatch and Evening Chronicle.
Most of these newspapers were sold again soon afterwards, to the Allied Newspapers consortium formed in 1924 (renamed Kemsley Newspapers in 1943 and bought by Roy Thomson in 1959).
The newspapers Hulton founded have since merged with other newspapers. In 1955, the Daily Dispatch merged with the News Chronicle, which was subsequently absorbed into the Daily Mail in 1960. The Evening Chronicle merged with the Manchester Evening News in 1963. The Daily Sketch merged with the Daily Mail in 1971.
