He established the nation's largest newspaper chain and media company Hearst Communications, which at the height of its power owned nearly thirty newspapers in major cities across the United States. Hearst is renowned for his somewhat flamboyant methods of ‘yellow journalism’, a term used to describe or deride journalism and associated newspapers whose news stories lack in-depth research and reporting. This style of writing hugely influenced the nation's popular media by emphasizing sensationalism and human-interest stories.Hearst was also involved in politics, he was twice elected as a Democrat to the U.S. House of Representatives and ran unsuccessfully for President of the United States in 1904, Mayor of New York City in 1905 and 1909 and for Governor of New York in 1906. A keen art collector, over his lifetime Hearst amassed an extensive array of artwork, Spanish and Italian furniture, oriental carpets and a comprehensive library of books and manuscripts. In 1925, he purchased St. Donat’s Castle, the Vale of Glamorgan in Wales, which sits on the cliffs overlooking the Bristol Channel. Hearst set about restoring the medieval structure, often buying entire rooms from castles and palaces in Europe. His famous mansion Hearst Castle, located on Central Coast of California, is now State Historical Monument and a National Historic Landmark.
