The Times was established in 1851 as a penny paper whose editors wanted to report the news in a

restrained and objective fashion It enjoyed early success as its editors set a pattern for the future by

appealing to a cultured, intellectual readership instead of a mass audience However, in the late nineteenth century, it came into competition with more popular, colorful, if not lurid, newspapers in New York City Their publishers ran sensational stories, not because they were true, but because they sold newspapers Despite price increases, the time was losing £1,000 a week when Adolph Simon Ochs bought it in 1896

Ochs built the Times into an internationally respected daily He hired Carr Van Anda as editor Van

Anda placed greater stress than ever on full reporting of the news of the day, and his reporters

maintained and emphasized existing good coverage of international news The management of the paper decided to eliminate fiction from the paper, added a Sunday magazine section, and reduced the paper’s price back to a penny In April 1912, the paper took many risks to report every aspect of the sinking of

the Titanic This greatly enhanced its prestige, and in its coverage of two world wars, the Times

continued to enhance its reputation for excellence in world news.

In 1971, the Times was given a copy of the so-called “Pentagon Papers,” a secret government study

of U.S involvement in the Vietnam war When it published the report, it became involved in several

lawsuits The U.S Supreme Court found that the publication was protected by the

freedom-of-the-press clause in the First Amendment of the U.S Constitution Later in the 1970s, the paper, under Adolph Ochs’s grandson, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, introduced sweeping changes in the organization of the newspaper and its staff and brought out a national edition transmitted by satellite to regional printing plants
