MANHATTAN --- New York Times publisher Arthur O. Sulzberger Jr. acknowledged during a speech at Kansas State University on Monday that his newspaper's claim that former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein had stockpiled weapons of mass destruction that justified the U.S. invasion of Iraq "was flawed. Sulzberger, who kicked off the prestigious Landon Lecture series at K-State for 2004-05, said that the newspaper was "a little slow" in challenging claims by President Bush's administration that WMDs would be found in Iraq.
In 1986, casey reportedly used the communications intelligence statute to warn national security journalist and author Seymour Hersh's publisher against releasing sensitive information in Hersh's book about the downing of Korean Airlines Flight 007 over the Soviet Union. Similarly, last year Times Executive Editor Bill Keller and Publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. met with President Bush, who warned them that publishing the eavesdropping story would threaten national security.
There have been a number of experiments by newspapers over the years, chasing after developing technologies both as a hedge and possible line of new revenues. Newspapers first experimented with the proprietary Internet delivery systems like AOL and CompuServe, but it wasn't until the World Wide Web opened the whole territory to all homesteaders that the thundering charge would begin. Although they got there early, far ahead of other companies and the government, newspapers failed to do what was necessary for long-term survival. They didn't adapt to evolve in the new environment. Enter a new invention. It isn't radio, and it's not a fax or teletype on television. It's a portable piece of the Internet that looks like a book.

In a full-page ad that eerily mirrored [Dean Singleton]'s release for pure double-speak, Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. announced: "This is an important step in our effort to support The Times's high-quality journalism, the most authoritative news and opinion to be found anywhere." There's no quarrel with the latter half of that statement, but it didn't mention that the move was opposed by the Times' own New Media executives, who respect the fact that in the Internet age, for better or worse, information wants to be free.

Chairman Arthur Sulzberger Jr. said Thursday he hopes to cut the newspaper's expenses enough to avoid having to shut it down.

NEW YORK - New York Times Co. chairman Arthur Sulzberger Jr. acknowledged shareholder frustrations at the company's annual meeting Tuesday, where investors delivered another rebuke to the newspaper company's financial performance by withholding 42 percent of their votes for four directors. While the results are largely symbolic since the Sulzberger family controls the rest of the 13-member board, the large amount of shares withheld reflects growing impatience about the company's lagging stock price and was even larger than last year's 30 percent withhold vote. Directors need a plurality of votes cast to be elected.
