The publisher of The New York Times Co. is stepping down after 25 years and will be succeeded by his 37-year-old son, the Times announced Thursday.

Arthur O. Sulzberger Jr. will retire as of Dec. 31 but will remain as chairman of the board of directors, the Times said. His son and current deputy publisher, Arthur Gregg Sulzberger, will take over as publisher.

“It is the greatest honor to serve The Times — and the people who make it what it is — as the next publisher,” the younger Sulzberger, known as A.G., said in a staffwide email.

Sulzberger praised his father as “the only publisher of his generation who took the reins of a great news organization and left it even better than he found.”

A.G. Sulzberger will be the fifth generation of the Ochs-Sulzberger family to serve as publisher since Adolph Ochs, his great great-grandfather, bought the Times in 1896. …

Gosh how Middle Ages of them.

Sulzberger praised his father as “the only publisher of his generation who took the reins of a commie news organization and left it in so much debt to Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim that it has no chance of survival .”

Largest single investor in the NYT newspaper now:

Carlos Slim. MEXICAN.

That was as of 2015. If it has changed, sorry.

After doubling his stake in New York Times, Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim has become the top shareholder of the New York Times.

Reuters reports that Slim has exercised warrants purchased in 2009 that double his holdings in the paper to 16.8 percent. His shares are valued at $341.4 million.

Though the Times has not always been the best investment for Slim, his large stake in the paper has exempted him from being the target of negative coverage.

Newspaper industry about to go the same way as the old Blacksmith industry.

For over a hundred years, the New York Times has purported to present straight news and hard facts. But, as Bob Kohn shows with absolute clarity, the founders' original vision has been hijacked, and today, instead of straight news, readers are given mere editorial under the pretense of objective journalism.

Kohn shows point by point the methods by which the Times' mission has been subverted by the present management-routinely slanting the presentation of the facts in leads, headlines, and placement; utilizing polls, labels, and loaded language to convey particular views, not genuine news; and staffing the newsroom with hacks who manipulate information to further a leftist agenda. Kohn shows how such fraudulence directly corrupts hundreds of news agencies across the world; and by revealing all their methods of manipulation, he teaches readers how to decipher the slants in even the subtlest of cases, providing an entertaining and enlightening lesson in fraud-busting.

Just like the Kims of NORK. Or the Bushes of the NWO.

Sulzberger praised his father as “the only publisher of his generation who took the reins of a great news organization and left it even better than he found.”

Oh, really? Then why is it that the NYT headquarters building in Manhattan now has 8 empty floors in it? Why is it that the NYT is deeply in the red (financially and otherwise)?

Exactly... the NORK dynasty model with a marketing twist: From “Punch” to “Pinch” to “Pooch.”

But considering the NYT’s collapsing readership “Pooch” should be called “Poop.”

Just like North Korea!
