David Lawrence (publisher)

David Lawrence (December 25, 1888 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - February 11, 1973 in Sarasota, Florida) was a conservative newspaperman and former student of Woodrow Wilson at Princeton University. After his reelection as U.S. President in 1916, President Woodrow Wilson fired Irish-American White House secretary (chief of staff) Joseph Patrick Tumulty in 1916 to placate anti-Catholic sentiment, particularly from his wife and his advisor Colonel Edward M. House, after which David Lawrence successfully interceded on his behalf to remain. During the presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, David Lawrence criticised 'The New Deal' in his 1932 book Beyond the New Deal, in which his observation of economic activity led him to distinguish between free enterprise and corporatism, writing that "Theoretically, corporations are creations of the state."

In 1933, Lawrence founded a weekly newspaper called United States News a weekly newspaper devoted to the details of government for an audience of community leaders, business people and politicians.^[1] In 1948, United States News merged with Lawrence's weekly magazine, World Report to form the news magazine U.S. News & World Report. At the time of Lawrence's 1973 death, the magazine had a circulation of 2 million.

On April 22, 1970, David Lawrence was presented with the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Richard Nixon.
