Businessman and Publisher. He was born on March 13, 1908, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He became a leading figure in American media through Triangle Publications, overseeing major newspaper, magazine, and broadcasting holdings. He acquired "The Philadelphia Inquirer" in 1957 and later purchased "The Philadelphia Daily News," expanding Triangle's influence in print journalism. In 1953, Triangle consolidated several regional television listings publications into a single national magazine, TV Guide, first issued on April 3, 1953, which grew into one of the highest-circulation weekly magazines in the United States and a central publication in American television culture. Annenberg's public service included appointment by President Richard Nixon as United States Ambassador to the Court of St James's, a post he held from 1969 to 1974. After leaving active control of his newspaper interests, he became widely known for philanthropy that supported education, museums, and public life, including major gifts associated with the Annenberg Foundation and the creation and strengthening of academic and cultural institutions. He also developed Sunnylands in Rancho Mirage, California, as a winter estate and a setting for civic and diplomatic gatherings. Annenberg died on October 1, 2002, in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania, at the age of ninety-four.
