The veterans community, and the Marine Corps, lost one of its own with the death of Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, Sr. the former publisher and chairman of the New York Times. His publishing legacy is being hailed as transforming a family business into a global media empire on his watch as the newspaper’s publisher. Vets should remember him as a two-time veteran, of both World War II and Korea.
To many he represents the heyday of print-era news journalism, along with the late Washington Post publisher Katherine Graham (the spouse of a WWII Army Air Corps veteran). Over the period of 1963 – 1992 when Sulzberger was publisher of the New York Times, the revenues of its corporate parent rose to $1.7 billion from $100 million.
