Conrad Black is a Canadian-born British former newspaper publisher and author. He is a non-affiliated life peer.
Black controlled Hollinger International, once the world’s third-largest English-language newspaper empire, which published The Daily Telegraph (UK), Chicago Sun-Times (U.S.), The Jerusalem Post (Israel), National Post (Canada), most of the leading newspapers in Australia and Canada and hundreds of community newspapers in North America, before controversy erupted over the sale of some of the company’s assets, after Black determined to reduce involvement in the newspaper industry as the threat of the internet loomed.
