barrons3	Harbinger Capital reduced its holdings to 21,038,434 shares (14.64%), by selling 2,500,000 shares. The transaction, at $9.00 per share, took place on Nov. 17.	Love	November 28, 2009
barrons3	Google? I read the newspaper quarters and see that they have cut costs to stay ahead of the game -- New York Times (NYT) and Gannett (GCI) have beaten back bankruptcy. But no one has been able to beat the migration, and Google's just still taking share from Yahoo! (YHOO), although Bing from Microsoft is a real threat. My take: When GOOG gets to 19 times earnings, it is a buy, but for the first time, multiple analysis matters.	Love	July 30, 2009
Stockpickr Staff	"I know The Wall Street Journal says that there could be a bidder for The New York Times Co. (NYT), but it won't be because of a potential turn in the ad business." (<a href="http://jimcramer.rmblogs.thestreet.com/entry.aspx?q=b07d69af-e1cf-4961-bf79-9bf5009f835f" target="_blank">"Big Tech Performs Under Pressure," 4-24-09</a>)	Love	April 27, 2009
barrons3	Harbinger Capital Partners increased its stake to 28,538,434 shares (19.94%) after purchasing 50,000 on Dec. 21, 2008 at $5.12 a share.	Love	March 14, 2009
barrons3	But then there are companies that I remember being in the $20s and $30s, companies like Gannett (GCI), New York Times (NYT), Hartford (HIG), Lincoln (LNC). I just can't believe where they are.	Love	March 05, 2009
barrons3	And in case you’re wondering, Finerman says to avoid CBS [CBS] and the N.Y. Times [NYT]. She suggests CBS may have to cut their dividend and "the Times may have to cut further.”	Love	February 11, 2009

barrons3	Obvious examples abound everywhere: New York Times(NYT), Sara Lee(SLE), Las Vegas Sands (LVS), RF Micro Devices (RFMD) (among so many techs with so much debt), VeriSign(VRSN), Weatherford(WFT) (along with a lot of oil service companies with debt) and most of the restaurant chains, big and small.	Love	January 29, 2009

Julia6819	Though not dead yet, the company's declining editorial quality and super upscaliness heralds its demise.	Hate	June 29, 2008

barrons2	Bloomberg, who before becoming mayor founded Bloomberg LP, a financial news and information service, has been encouraged by people close to him to buy the New York Times Co and save the company from shareholder assaults, according to a recent report in Newsweek magazine.	Love	April 23, 2008
barrons2	Harbinger Capital Partners raised its stake to 27,222,634 million shares (19.04%), after buying 447,000 on March 18 and 19 at $18.89 a share.	Love	March 29, 2008
barrons2	But Deutsche Bank's new sell rating for New York Times (NYT) makes a ton of sense. This one has been bid up by a hedge fund that is hopeful that it can affect the family ownership of the company. It is possible that the company will react by firing a huge percentage of the newsroom, but I regard that as unlikely.	Love	February 28, 2008
barrons2	Firebrand Partners and Harbinger Capital Partners are seeking representation on the board of the New York Times. The pair of hedge funds said that they have raised their stake to about 16.9 million (11.82%) shares, after a Harbinger fund bought 793,000 Class A shares for $18.71 each on Feb. 15.	Love	February 23, 2008
barrons2	Harbinger Capital retained Scott Galloway to develop an active strategy to unlock value at the New York Times. Harbinger nominated four candidates for election to NYT's board at its 2008 annual meeting.	Love	February 16, 2008

barrons2	Coburn has a host of bearish ideas. He has made a bundle betting against newspaper stocks; he thinks they are "the buggy whips of the digital age," and remains short the New York Times (NYT) and others. He's also short a boatload of big, troubled tech companies -- Motorola (MOT), Palm (he and Integral disagree completely), eBay (EBAY), Alcatel-Lucent (ALU), Interpublic Group (IPG), CNET (CNET)...he's got 51.	Love	December 15, 2007

Mose1947	Big content and brand, beaten down now.	Love	November 25, 2007
NYScout	An under-utlized collection of preimer media assets. One wonders if they follow the new Murdoch/WSJ paradigm of free access to web sites how much traffic and resulting ad revenue will be available. The NYT is in a position to offer editorial and other content that could crush any other web site and combined with ask.com could become truly valuable.	Love	November 17, 2007
