The Hearst family is a wealthy American family based in California. Their fortune was originally earned in the mining industry during the late 19th century under the entrepreneurial leadership of George Hearst. George's son, William Randolph Hearst, subsequently used his father's wealth to build a mass media empire comprising the New York Evening Journal, Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping, Town & Country and Harper's Bazaar among others. To this day, the Hearst family continues to be involved in the media industry through their ownership and control of the mass media conglomerate, Hearst Communications.
