 Plots & Plans: The New York Times Tower on Eighth Avenue   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Times Square was named after The New York Times because of its "flat-iron" style building that anchored the south end of Times Square on the small block between 42nd and 43rd Streets and Broadway and Seventh Avenue.
The new tower designed by Arquitectonica is clad in reflective glass of different colors that perhaps will be appropriate to the gaudiness of 42nd Street, but like many of the new Times Square towers it is rather ungainly and not terribly poetic nor inspiring.
The New York Times Company had conducted a design competition for this project and at one point it appeared that the commission was going to go to a joint venture of Frank O.

Nicknamed "The Gray Lady" or The Times, the newspaper was founded as The New-York Daily Times in 1851 by Henry J. Raymond and George Jones as a sober alternative to the more partisan newspapers that dominated the New York journalism of the time.
This policy also means that the Times is rarely first with a story (a "scoop"), unless it is local to New York, and that when the Times has a scoop that information is propagated world-wide to other papers and news sources.
It is currently owned by The New York Times Company, in which descendants of Ochs, principally the Sulzberger family, maintain a dominant role.

In 1960, the Times ran a fundraising advertisement signed by civil-rights leaders that criticized, among other things, certain actions of the Montgomery, Ala., police department.
The court limited the right of recovery to public officials who could prove actual malice (i.e., that the newspaper knew the statement was false or acted in reckless disregard of the truth).
By emphasizing that First Amendment protection applies to state court cases, the decision eased the way for news organizations covering the civil-rights movement in the South.

 NYTimes.com Review Say It Loud
At a time when creativity and originality seem to have been leached out of politics by a succession of dreary elections -- you don't have to look much beyond the New York gubernatorial contest this year to see that -- Sharpton is a singular figure.
Sharpton is running for president these days, and one of the persistent undercurrents of his entertaining new book, ''Al on America,'' written with Karen Hunter, a columnist for The Daily News in New York, is that, given the clear abundance of his talent, people don't take him seriously enough.
There are times when even Al Sharpton sounds like another let's-appoint-a-commission candidate as he struggles to finesse the kinds of issues that await him.

Not only does this line of investigation appear to be of little bona fide news value, it appears to have been undertaken without any basis whatsoever except as a fishing expedition hoping to uncover embarrassing information.
Based on news reports, the Times ' inquiry seems to be a grotesque invasion of privacy and, as it involves two small children, lacks fundamental decency.
As shareholders, we are concerned about the impact of the Times ' actions on the company's reputation, particularly given the widespread reporting of this embarrassing story.

Each time I visited, I became more distressed by what I saw and heard -- awful things that could not be reported because doing so would have jeopardized the lives of Iraqis, particularly those on our Baghdad staff.
CNN had been in Baghdad long enough to know that telling the world about the torture of one of its employees would almost certainly have gotten him killed and put his family and co-workers at grave risk.
Obviously, other news organizations were in the same bind we were when it came to reporting on their own workers.

 Hard News: The Scandals At The New York Times And Their Meaning For The American Media - New York Magazine Book Review
There’s the time when Raines tries to “reach out” to his Washington bureau chief, Jill Abramson—whom he’s been systematically undermining—by cooking her a lamb dinner and taking her to a funk concert.
In drafting this account, he was smart enough to zero in on an element of the story that few outside the Times knew much about: the team of five Times reporters and two editors who were charged with investigating Blair’s plagiarism and other offenses and composing the front-page account of his misdeeds.
It’s a glimpse of the Times not as the grand abstraction of legend, or the hood ornament of a whole trade, but as a collection of people—people who routinely do a lot of great work and occasionally screw up in the most mortifying ways, and then learn from their mistakes.

In such periods, he maintained, scientists tend to resist research that might signal the development of a new paradigm, like the work of the astronomer Aristarchus, who theorized in the third century B.C. that the planets revolve around the Sun.
