(AG Sulzberger, NYT CEO.)
Right. Sulzberger isn’t good at his job and doesn’t have the vision to fix NYT.But AG Sulzberger’s dad did have skills; he was a marketer, who led the Times through the collapse of US news. Stay with me here …

Sulzberger Jr was quoted as saying he didn’t like journalism but he did like marketing and business.
It wasn’t a small feat, making the Times profitable while all other US papers died. It just wasn’t mainly about journalism skills. 2/3

And that is the real problem at the Times. They’ve decided to chase a rich audience for short term profit at the expense of democracy and catastrophic longterm threats to themselves.
The NYT is run by MBA culture. And has been for two generations.

When you watch AG Sulzberger you get the impression of one of those insecure wannabes that is always abused by the cool kids (billionaires), but thinks if he is really really obsequious they will let him into their club.
