Horace White (August 10, 1834 – September 16, 1916) was a United States journalist and financial expert, noted for his connection with the Chicago Tribune, the New York Evening Post, and The Nation.

[3] In 1899, White succeeded Godkin as editor in chief, and he held that position until his retirement in 1903.

White is remembered as proponent of quality journalism aimed at public good.

This phrase is applied to newspapers which delight in sensations, crime, scandal, smut, funny pictures, caricatures and malicious or frivolous gossip about persons and things of no public concern.

When I entered journalism, the press of the country, with only one exception that I can now recall, was clean, dignified and sober minded.
