The New York Times was founded on September 18 of 1851 by Henry Jarvis Raymond and George Jones. Raymond was also founding director of the AP in 1856. Adolph Ochs bought the Times in 1896 and under his direction, became internationally renowned. In 1897 he devised the motto of the newspaper, “All The News That’s Fit To Print” (“All the news unfit for publication”), which is often interpreted as an attack on their competitors Yorkers (the New York World and the New York Journal America) known for its sensationalism. After the newspaper’s headquarters moved to a new tower on 42nd Street, the area was renamed Times Square in 1904. Nine years later, the Times opened an annex at 229 43rd Street, its current headquarters, finally selling Times Tower in 1961. More
