Newbold Noyes Jr. (August 10, 1918 – December 18, 1997) was an American publisher, reporter, and newspaper editor.
After graduating from Yale University in 1941, Noyes joined The Washington Star newspaper, which had been co-owned by his family since 1867. At the time, his grandfather, Frank Brett Noyes, was president and his father, Newbold Noyes, Sr., was associate editor. The younger Noyes served as a war correspondent in the 1940s.
In 1963, Noyes became the newspaper's editor.[1] He also served as a trustee of the Washington Journalism Center and the Raymond Clapper Memorial Association,[2] 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."[3]
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.[4]
In 1975, Noyes' tenure as editor and his family's as co-owners both ended when 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.[5][self-published source]

[edit]A longtime resident of Sorrento, Maine, Noyes married Beatrice "Beppie" Noyes (July 20, 1919 – July 3, 2007), an American author and illustrator.[6]
