Joseph E. Atkinson
Joseph E. Atkinson (December 23, 1865 – May 8, 1948) was a Canadian newspaper editor and activist. Under his leadership the Toronto Star became one of the largest and most influential newspapers in Canada. Atkinson amassed a considerable fortune, eventually holding the controlling interest in the paper he edited. After his death, control of the paper passed to the trustees of the Atkinson Foundation, a major Canadian charity.
==Early life==
Atkinson was born near Newcastle, Ontario in 1865. His early life was difficult, creating conditions which would eventually lead to his social activism. His father died when he was six months old, his mother, Hannah, when he was thirteen.
At about the age of 16, while working at the post office, he began to sign his name as "Joseph E. Atkinson" even though he had been given no middle name at birth. Looking for a better job, Atkinson hoped to become a banker, but through his post office work he found out about a job opening at the ''Port Hope Times'', a weekly newspaper in Port Hope, Ontario. He joined the paper at age 18, initially collecting accounts. When the ''Times'' started publishing daily, Atkinson became a reporter.〔
In October 1888, he jumped to the ''Toronto World'' and a few months later joined the ''Globe'', one of the newspapers which would become ''The Globe and Mail''. After two years, he became the ''Globes Ottawa correspondent, a position he held for seven years. Atkinson then became managing editor of the ''Montreal Herald'' in 1897.
