Macpherson was an innovative and forceful newspaperman, who strove successfully to strengthen the financial base of his newspaper (by increasing circulation and advertising revenues) enabling him to operate free from political subsidies and political constraints, and to be enabled, therefore, to engage in political criticism. Once he had marked out the trail, other newspapermen followed. Macpherson’s own political position, thus sustained, was that of independent Republicanism. | <tab>Porter A.
