Abstract
Conrad Black ranks highly among a select group of global media moguls in the world today. This article traces the rise of the Black empire from the 300-circulation Quebec weekly purchased for a dollar in 1966, to his current company, Hollinger Inc, which owns or controls a string of publications across four continents. More importantly, it examines the man behind this empire, looking at Conrad Black's background, education, career and the personal traits that have made him such an imperious figure. It deals with Black's particular proprietary style, which is of particular significance to an Australian audience who are still unfamiliar with this influential shareholder in the Fairfax group, and discusses why Black is very much a product of his homeland.
