IHT begins new era with The New York Times: The International Herald Tribune, descendant of an American paper first published in Paris in 1887, is appearing Thursday for the first time under the sole ownership and management of The New York Times Co.
The takeover ends an anomalous 35-year partnership between The Times and its domestic competitor, The Washington Post, that produced a journalistic hybrid consisting mainly of articles and editorials from both papers compiled by editors in Paris.
