Arthur Ochs "Pinch"[1] Sulzberger Jr. (born September 22, 1951) is an American journalist.

Sulzberger was the chairman of The New York Times Company from 1997 to 2020, and the publisher of The New York Times from 1992 to 2018, when he appointed his son A. G. Sulzberger to lead the company.

Early life and education[edit]

Sulzberger was born in Mount Kisco, New York, one of two children of Barbara Winslow (née Grant) and Arthur Ochs "Punch" Sulzberger Sr.[2] His sister is Karen Alden Sulzberger, who is married to author Eric Lax.[3] He is a grandson of Arthur Hays Sulzberger and great-grandson of Adolph Ochs. His mother was a descendant of Mayflower crew member John Alden and Plymouth Colony governor Edward Winslow.[2]

Sulzberger's mother was of mostly English and Scottish origin and his father was of German Jewish origin (both Ashkenazic and Sephardic).[4]

Sulzberger's parents divorced when he was five years old. He was raised in his mother's Episcopal faith; however, he no longer observes any religion.[5]

Sulzberger graduated from the Browning School in New York City.[6] In 1974, he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from Tufts University.

Career[edit]

Sulzberger was a reporter with the Raleigh Times in North Carolina from 1974 to 1976, and a London Correspondent for the Associated Press in the United Kingdom from 1976 to 1978.

Sulzberger joined The New York Times in 1978 as a correspondent in the Washington, D.C. bureau. He moved to New York as a metro reporter in 1981, and was appointed assistant metro editor later that year. Sulzberger is a 1985 graduate of the Harvard Business School's program for management development.

From 1983 to 1987, Sulzberger worked in a variety of business departments, including production and corporate planning. In January 1987, Sulzberger was named assistant publisher. A year later, Sulzberger was named deputy publisher, overseeing the news and business departments. In these capacities, Sulzberger was involved in planning the Times's automated color printing and distribution facilities in Edison, New Jersey, and at College Point, Queens, New York, as well as the creation of the six-section color newspaper.

Sulzberger became the publisherofThe New York Times in 1992, and chairmanofThe New York Times Company in 1997, succeeding his father, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger.[7] On December 14, 2017, he announced he would be ceding the post of publisher to his son, A. G. Sulzberger, effective January 1, 2018.[8]

Sulzberger remained chairman of the Times board until December 31, 2020, when he passed that position to his son as well.[9]
