  • Our Path Forward October 7, 2015
    Our Path Forward October 7, 2015 From our earliest days, The New York Times has committed itself to the idea that investing in the best journalism would ensure the loyalty of a large and discerning audience, which in turn would drive the revenue needed to support our ambitions. This virtuous circle reinforced itself for over 150 years. And at a time of unprecedented disruption in our industry, this strategy has proved to be one of the few successful models for quality journalism in the smartphone era, as well. This week we have been celebrating a remarkable achievement: The New York Times has surpassed one million digital subscribers. Our newspaper took more than a century to reach that milestone. Our website and apps raced past that number in less than five years. This accomplishment offers a powerful validation of the importance of The Times and the value of the work we produce. Not only do we enjoy unprecedented readership — a boast many publishers can make — there are more people paying for our content than at any other point in our history. The New York Times has 64 percent more subscribers than we did at the peak of print, and they can be found in nearly every country in the world. Our model — offering content and products worth paying for, despite all the free alternatives — serves us in many ways beyond just dollars. It aligns our business goals with our journalistic mission. It increases the impact of our journalism and the effectiveness of our advertising. It compels us to always put our readers at the center of everything we do.

  • The Value of Insider Control
    William & Mary Law Review Volume 60 (2018-2019) Issue 3 Article 4 2-15-2019 The Value of Insider Control Benjamin Means Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmlr Part of the Business Law, Public Responsibility, and Ethics Commons, and the Business Organizations Law Commons Repository Citation Benjamin Means, The Value of Insider Control, 60 Wm. & Mary L. Rev. 891 (2019), https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmlr/vol60/iss3/4 Copyright c 2019 by the authors. This article is brought to you by the William & Mary Law School Scholarship Repository. https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmlr THE VALUE OF INSIDER CONTROL BENJAMIN MEANS* ABSTRACT According to conventional wisdom, insider control of businesses is detrimental to the interests of noncontrolling investors. Family-run businesses, in particular, are seen as nepotistic and inefficient. Yet, commentators have overestimated the dangers of insider control and overlooked its potential benefits for all stakeholders. Controlling owners have a personal stake that gives them reason to identify with their business and to adopt responsible business practices capable of creating lasting value. A stewardship model of insider control helps explain the continuing vitality of family businesses as well as the success of recent public offerings by Facebook, Google, and Snapchat involving low-vote or no-vote stock. Consequently, this Article crit- icizes efforts to limit insider control categorically—for example, re- cent moves by stock exchanges to block companies that issue stock with unequal voting rights. To the extent controlling shareholders are tempted to abuse their control in particular cases, this Article contends that the fiduciary duties of care and loyalty provide an appropriate basis for judicial monitoring.

  • Introduction
    Introduction No one really thinks about it as just something to make the money. Its mission is not to make the money, it’s a quasi-public institution. The op-ed page [public discourse] is and remains the bulletin board of the world. —Gerry Marzorati, April 10, 2005 Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts. —attributed to Daniel Patrick Moynihan I. My March 1, 2011, Open Letter to the Times’s Current Publisher and Its Executive Editor Dear Arthur Sulzberger Jr. and Bill Keller: Without neglecting the continuing triumphs of what I still regard as the world’s finest newspaper, what follows is my discussion of the problems facing the New York Times and my suggestions for how to solve some of them. I have two stories to tell. The first is the story of a great newspaper reinventing itself for the twenty-first century and seeing its mission in the most idealistic terms by viewing itself as what Gerry Marzorati, the former Sunday Magazine editor, calls a “quasi-public institution.” Representing a decisive and perhaps final turn in the way newspapers operate and the American audience receives information, full commitment to digital media in the form of the paper’s website, nytimes.com, has been the centerpiece of that reinvention. But I also have a second, sadder story to tell, namely, the story of a newspaper flailing around as it tries to find its place in a world 1 © 2012 State University of New York Press, Albany 2 Endtimes? where digital news has rapidly been replacing print news, where the concepts of truth and verification are up for grabs, and where chang- ing business conditions undermine print circulation and advertising revenue, replacements for which have not been found.
