Philip H. Dougherty (December 21, 1923 – September 27, 1988) was an American journalist who covered advertising for the New York Times from 1966 until his death. He was posthumously elected to the Advertising Hall of Fame in 1990, where he was described as "the most influential writer on advertising throughout his 22 years." [1]
He died in his sleep at his Queens home.[2] The Philip H. Dougherty Minority Journalism Scholarship at Ithaca College is named in his honor.
