Hamilton Wright Organization (American, 1908 - ca 1970)

In 1908, Hamilton WRIGHT Sr. founded the Hamilton Wright Organization, a public relations firm that specialized in making travelog and newsreel film and distributing it to motion picture houses around the world, often on behalf of domestic and foreign governments. WRIGHT's son, Hamilton WRIGHT Jr., managed the company after his father and expanded it's work. In 1963, a Senate committee criticized the Hamilton Wright Organization for hosting press junkets and distributing its photographs, newsreels, and stories in American news media without reporting its sources. The Hamilton Wright Organization was closed by Hamilton WRIGHT Jr.'s son in the late 1960s.
