Sulzberger, Arthur Ochs
born Feb. 5, 1926, New York, N.Y., U.S.

U.S. newspaper publisher.

Grandson of Adolph Ochs and son of Iphigene and Arthur Hays Sulzberger, he spent a dozen years as a reporter and in other newspaper posts before becoming publisher of The New York Times in 1963. During his tenure he introduced many innovations that strengthened the paper's reputation while modernizing and streamlining the organization of its staff, including the unification of the daily Times with the Sunday edition in 1964 and an increase in coverage of fields such as economics, the environment, medicine, law, and science. In 1992 he was succeeded by his son, Arthur Sulzberger, Jr. (b. 1951).

▪ American newspaper publisher
born Feb. 5, 1926, New York City

      U.S. newspaper publisher who directed The New York Times through an era in which many innovations in production and editorial management were introduced.

      Sulzberger was educated at private schools and, after U.S. Marine Corps service (1944–46) in the Pacific during World War II, at Columbia University, where he earned a B.A. degree in English and history in 1951. A grandson of Adolph S. Ochs (1858–1935), who made The New York Times a successful paper after acquiring it in 1896, and the son of Arthur Hays Sulzberger (1891–1968), publisher of the Times from 1935 to 1961, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger became president and publisher of the Times in 1963 at the age of 37. He had spent a dozen years in preparation for that responsibility. In 1952 he worked for the Times as a cub reporter. After a year he went to The Milwaukee Journal, where he worked as a reporter and on the state and local news desks. He returned to the Times for experience on its foreign desk and as a London correspondent. He also worked out of the Paris and Rome bureaus. In 1955 he came home as assistant to the publisher and then became assistant treasurer. In 1963 Sulzberger's brother-in-law, Orvil E. Dryfoos, who had been publisher for several years, died and young Sulzberger succeeded him.

      Sulzberger worked to strengthen the reputation of the Times as one of the great newspapers of the world, while also modernizing and streamlining the organization of its staff. In 1964 he unified the daily New York Times and the Sunday edition, which had been separate, and he later broadened the paper's editorial scope in such areas as religion, science, and women's news.
