George Jones (publisher)

George Jones (1811 – 1891) was an American journalist who co-founded with Henry Jarvis Raymond the "New-York Daily Times", now the "New York Times", publishing its first issue on September 18, 1851.

Before founding the New-York Daily Times Jones was an Albany banker. Upon Raymond's death in 1869, Jones took over as publisher. Between 1870 and 1871 the newspaper published a series of exposés that contributed to the downfall of Boss Tweed and his corrupt city government. Jones is interred in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Sleepy Hollow, New York.
