Robert Rutherford McCormick

American newspaper entrepreneur. In 1910, he co-founded the Chicago Tribune with his cousin Joseph Medill Patterson (1879-1944), and became sole owner in 1925. The paper had a right-wing editorial policy that advocated anti-communism and isolationism, and boasted the largest circulation in the Midwest. After World War II, he expressed opposition to American foreign policy, especially the Marshall Plan and UN policy. In 1949, he bought the Washington Times-Herald, but due to poor performance, he sold it to the Washington Post in 1954.

アメリカの新聞経営者。1910年、従兄(いとこ)のパターソンJoseph Medill Patterson(1879―1944)と『シカゴ・トリビューン』紙を共同経営、1925年に単独経営者となる。同紙は反共・孤立主義を掲げた右翼的な編集方針をとり、中西部最大の発行部数を誇った。第二次世界大戦後、アメリカの外交方針、とくにマーシャル・プランや国連政策に反対を表明。1949年にワシントンの『タイムズ・ヘラルド』紙を買収したが、業績不振で1954年『ワシントン・ポスト』紙に売却した。
