Statement Of Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg On The Death Of Former New York Times Publisher Arthur O. Sulzberger

October 1, 2012

“Thanks to Arthur Sulzberger’s leadership and his ability to not only survive but thrive in the face of challenging industry dynamics, the New York Times has remained a cultural touchstone and a dynamic global enterprise for decades. Arthur was a great New Yorker and a luminary in one of our city’s biggest industries, and his loss will be felt by many. My thoughts and prayers are with his friends and relatives as well as the larger New York Times family.”
