Alan and Lionel sit down with AG Sulzberger, chair and publisher of the New York Times. AG took over as publisher of the New York Times six years ago after many years as a hack. His term coincided with that of Donald J Trump, for whom the Times was public enemy number one. AG stood his ground, telling the president to his case that his anti-press rhetoric was “not just divisive but increasingly dangerous”. He and his team have taken the Times and transformed the digital offering, adding millions of subscribers worldwide.
