What is the name of the newspaper where Charles Foster Kane in the film "Citizen Kane" is the publisher and one of the editors?
The somewhat simple name of the newspaper where Charles Foster Kane (Orson Welles) in the 1941 film "Citizen Kane" is the editor and publisher is the 'New York Inquirer'. This is just one of several papers that he publishes. He publishes similar 'Inquirer' newspapers in Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and other major American cities.
The following from the film shows us Kane's true persona. He said, "Sorry but I'm not interested in gold mines, oil wells, shipping or real estate.... One item on your list intrigues me, the 'New York Inquirer', a little newspaper I understand we acquired in a foreclosure proceeding. Please don't sell it. I'm coming back to America to take charge. I think it would be fun to run a newspaper."
Kane will use the paper to attack bank trusts, Walter Parks Thatcher (George Coulouris), a banker, and others among America's financial elite. Headlines in the Inquirer go all out to attack capitalistic Wall Street and the men who run it. Men are called swindlers and copper robbers in this newspaper.
Thatcher will indignantly confront Kane about the newspaper's criticism of banks, privilege, and corruption. Kane is seated at his desk sipping coffee as Thatcher stands over him. He says, "Is that really your idea of how to run a newspaper?" Kane replies: "I don't know how to run a newspaper, Mr. Thatcher. I just try everything I can think of." Thatcher explodes at him. All Kane wants is to be successful at all that he does.
