    0.06 sec.

Kemsley, James Gomer Berry, 1st Viscount Kemsley of Farnworth Royal (1883-1968)

Welsh journalist and newspaper proprietor. The younger brother of Lord Camrose, the two became the main newspaper proprietors in Britain by the 1920s. Kemsley was sole chairman of his own newspaper group, Kemsley Newspapers, 1937-59, which he sold on to Roy Thomson. In this same period, he was editor-in-chief of the Sunday Times.

Kemsley was born in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. He and his brother took control of Amalgamated Press in 1926, but separated their interests in 1937. Kemsley took over his brother's share in Allied Newspapers, which in 1943 changed its name to Kemsley Newspapers. He was made a baronet in 1928, a baron in 1936, and a viscount in 1945.
