[More] If his performance with the Times is any indication, he must have been paying very close attention. Following record first-quarter profits and the launch of several key partnerships between the Times and other media companies, Sulzberger added one more accomplishment to his already successful year -- Editor and Publisher Magazine's Publisher of the Year.
William Dean Singleton, the president/CEO of MediaNews Group agrees. "Arthur understands the future. Editorially, the Times has made great strides under his leadership. He took a great newspaper and made it even greater... It's an outstanding company, and you have to give most of the credit to Arthur because he's leading it." Adds
Washington Post publisher Donald Graham, "Arthur is a five-star
publisher, and he always has been."
