Crosby S. Noyes

Crosby S. Noyes (March 2, 1921 - April 7, 1988) was an American newspaperman. He was a great-grandson of Crosby Stuart Noyes, a co-owner of the Washington Evening Star from 1867 to 1908 who was its long-time editor-in-chief. The younger Crosby Noyes was a son of Newbold Noyes, Sr., a Star associate editor. His older brother, Newbold Noyes, Jr., was the Star's editor from 1963 to 1975, when the paper was sold to Joe L. Allbritton, a banker. In 1978 Allbritton in turn sold the paper to Time, Inc., which closed it in 1981.

Crosby S. Noyes began his career on the Star in 1947 after World War II service as a fighter pilot in Europe and graduation from Yale. He specialized in foreign affairs, first as chief European correspondent, then as foreign editor. He retired in 1974.

The Noyes family co-owned The Star from 1867 to 1975.
