Sulzberger, << SUHLZ bur guhr, >> Arthur Hays (1891-1968), was the publisher of The New York Times from 1935 to 1961. He succeeded his father-in-law, Adolph S. Ochs (see Ochs, Adolph S. ).
Under Sulzberger’s leadership, the Times printed more editorials and technological articles than ever before and expanded its news coverage and analysis. The daily circulation of the Times increased by about 40 percent, and the Sunday circulation nearly doubled.
Sulzberger was born in New York City. He joined the Times in 1918 as an assistant to the general manager. He was a vice president before becoming publisher. He also became chairman of the board in 1957 and held that post until his death.
