During his tenure as chairman of the board of Krupp AG, he began to build a media empire which soon spanned numerous newspapers, Germany's largest news agency as well as the legendary UFA film studios. Hugenberg's media outlets were notorious for their partisan reporting as well as their ultra-nationalist and anti-democratic leanings. As the leader of the far-right German National People's Party Hugenberg formed an alliance with the Nazis and became Minister of Economy in Hitler's first cabinet in 1933. He was, however, soon forced to resign and his media empire was incorporated into the Nazi propaganda machine. See less
