News about Adolph Ochs

The puzzle's silhouette has since sparked a lot of buzz on social media, with many influential Jewish leaders and political figures taking to social media to express their displeasure. Some believe the pattern, which is striking and leaps off the page even at a glance, is a coincidence, while others point to the newspaper's history of anti-Israel rhetoric. The Times has yet to comment on the mystery, which was announced on Hannukah's first night.

On Thursday, more than 1,000 unionized journalists and other workers at The New York Times began a 24-hour walkout, the first strike at the newspaper in over 40 years. The union, which is part of the NewsGuild of New York, had set a deadline for a new deal by midnight on December 8, and accused the administration of "failure to bargain in good faith." Union members protested in front of the newspaper's Manhattan headquarters, but union activists encouraged followers to join a one-day boycott of all Times merchandise, including its website and the famous game Wordle.

The NYT News Guild reiterated walkout dangers to thousands on social media, urging shoppers not to only avoid from the Times' print and digital publications, but also its famous puzzle game as well. It comes as the union, which is made up of more than 1,100 workers, threatened a 24-hour walkout in a letter sent by Times Publisher A.G. Sulzberger on Friday, putting a deadline on Thursday to settle the talks. Negotiations, on the other hand, have come to a halt, even after one last appeal to brass that allegedly lasted more than 12 hours, stretching from late Tuesday to Wednesday. The talks seemed to have yielded little, with both sides, led by union chair Bill Baker and Sulzberger, respectively, being split on topics that include increased pay to combat inflation and improved health care.
