George Irish, who led Hearst Newspapers Group for a decade and later the Hearst family’s foundations, died Sept. 13, 2022, at home in New Jersey, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. He was 78.“I had the great fortune to work for and with George for more than 20 years,” said Steven R. Swartz, who succeeded Irish as head of Hearst Newspapers. “He was a wonderful man, a dedicated executive and a much-loved member of our Hearst community and of all the communities he served so well.”
