Moses AnnenbergMoses Annenberg (1877-1942) was a major U.S. newspaper publisher, who purchased the Philadelphia Inquirer in 1936. Moe, as he was called, began his career as a rough-hewn Chicago newspaper salesman for the Hearst Corporation, eventually building a fortune and successful publishing company called Triangle Publications, Inc.. Moe's fortunes waned when the during the Roosevelt administration (to which his papers had been less than kind) he was indicted for tax evasion and, after pleading guilty, was sentenced to three years. His health failed during that time, and he died in 1942 at age 65, shortly after his release. He and his wife, Sarah, were the parents of the publisher and philanthropist, Walter Annenberg, who inherited his father's business eventually founding the Annenberg Foundation.
