Is the NYTimes a publicly held company? Um. Don't think so. Would be a good idea if it was. The Times leads the news, and any other major media outlet wouldn't have the same effect.

Yes, NY Times is publicly traded, and valued at over 6 billion dollars. I don't think we have that kind of change in our pockets

Ah, but we dont need 100% ownership, just a controlling share. 51% would do it. Okay, I've solved $3 billion of the problem, someone else has to figure out the other $3 billion. Anyone?
