New York Times. The eminent daily newspaper was founded in 1851 by journalist Henry J. Raymond and former banker George Jones as the New-York Daily Times. Its goal was to op- pose the distorted news reporting of the day. The name became the New York Times in 1857. In the 1890s it went through a pe- riod of decline and then was bought by Adolph Ochs who brought it back to prominence under the slogan “All the News That’s Fit to Print” and whose family has maintained the paper’s reputation since. The slogan remains on the paper’s masthead. |
