In 1890, Bell was invited by the owner of "The Times", Arthur Fraser Walter, to help run the financially shaky paper, considered highly respected but stolid and boring. As managing director, Bell revitalized the title, greatly increasing its staff of foreign correspondents. In 1902, Bell created "Literature", a forerunner of "The Times Literary Supplement", and in 1910, followed that supplement or spin-off with "The Times Educational Supplement". In 1908, Bell helped to engineer its sale to Alfred Harmsworth, later Lord Northcliffe. Bell remained with the paper until his death in 1911.
