Facts About The New York Times Company
The New York Daily Times was founded in 1851 by Henry Jarvis Raymond and
George Jones as a four-page newspaper. It soon became a success, appealing
to readers who wanted impartial coverage of the day?s news. Although the
newspaper was successful, its fortunes began to decline toward the end of
the century. In 1896, it was purchased by Adolph S. Ochs, whose stated aim
was to, ?...give the news impartiality, without fear or favor, regardless
of party, sect, or interests involved....?. He introduced many new
features, and succeeded in his aim to make the daily one of New York?s
finest newspapers. Since his death in 1935, the paper continues to be
published by the Ochs family.
The New York Times has won more prestigious journalism awards for
excellence in reporting, editing, photography and design than any other
newspaper in the world. As of 2001, these include 81 Pulitzer
Prizes. After decades of sole ownership by the Ochs/Sulzberger family, The
Times began offering shares to the public in 1967 and embarked on a series
of acquisitions and expansions. The Times is now the flagship publication
of The New York Times Company, listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The
Company?s core purpose is to enhance society by creating, collecting and
distributing the highest quality news, information and entertainment.
