Newbold Noyes Jr.

Newbold Noyes Jr. (August 10, 1918 – December 18, 1997) was an American publisher, journalist and newspaper editor.

Noyes went from war correspondent in the 1940s to editor in the 1960s. After graduating from Yale University in 1941, Noyes was editor of The Washington Star from 1963 to 1975. He was a trustee of the Washington Journalism Center and the Raymond Clapper Memorial Association, sponsor of the Raymond Clapper Memorial Award, presented to "... any Washington-based daily newspaper reporter whose work most closely approximated the ideals of fair and painstaking reporting, and the good craftsmanship of Raymond Clapper."

A longtime resident of Sorrento, Maine, he was married to Beatrice "Beppie" Noyes (July 20, 1919 – July 3, 2007) an American author and illustrator.

The Noyes family co-owned the Washington Evening Star from 1867 to 1975. His grandfather Frank Brett Noyes served as president of the Star. His father, Newbold Noyes, Sr., served as associate editor of the paper. In 1975, control of the Star's parent company was sold to Joe L. Allbritton, a Houston businessman. Allbritton in turn sold the paper in 1978 to Time Warner (then known as Time Inc.), which closed it in 1981.

In his 1982 book Witness to Power, John Ehrlichman discusses a letter from Noyes to President Richard Nixon sent in March 1973. According to Ehrlichman, if the president had responded to the letter differently, it could have been the catalyst for a different outcome for the Nixon presidency.
