Journalist Clarence Barron purchased control of the company for US$130,000 in 1902; circulation was then around 7,000 but climbed to 50,000 by the end of the 1920s. Barron and his predecessors were credited with creating an atmosphere of fearless, independent reporting—a novelty in the early days of business journalism. Barron died in 1928, a year before Black Tuesday, the stock market crash that greatly effected the Great Depression in the United States. Bernard Kilgore was named managing editor of the paper in 1941, and company CEO in 1945, eventually compiling a 25-year career as the head of the Journal.

It was also on Kilgore's watch, in 1947, that the paper won its first Pulitzer Prize, for editorial writing. Which Newspaper ?
