About George Wilkes

George Wilkes was an American journalist and newspaper editor. A native of New York State, he became a journalist and, after losing a libel case, was imprisoned in New York City's jail; he wrote a pamphlet on the jail's conditions in 1844 based on his stay. The following year, Wilkes and a friend started publishing the National Police Gazette, a newspaper on crime reporting and other sensationalistic topics. In 1856, Wilkes bought a sporting newspaper called the Spirit of the Times, which he had previously worked for.
