      INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT

ITEM 1.   DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT'S SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED.              

       The capital stock of The New York Times Company (the "Registrant") to
be registered on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. is the Registrant's Class A  
Common Stock.                                                                   

 The description of the Class A Common Stock is set forth in the
Certificate of Incorporation as amended by the Class A and Class B              
stockholders and restated on September 29, 1993, filed as Exhibit 3.1 to the    
Registrant's Form 10-K dated March 21, 1994, and is hereby incorporated by      
reference in response to this Item.                                             

In summary, the capital stock of the Registrant consists of   
200,910,000 shares, of which 110,000 shares of the par value of $100 each are   
5 1/2% Cumulative Prior Preference Stock, 200,000 shares of the par value of    
$1 each are Serial Preferred Stock, 200,000,000 shares of the par value of      
$0.10 each are Class A Common Stock and 600,000 of the par value $0.10 each     
are Class B Common Stock.                                                       

      The Registrant has two classes of outstanding voting securities, the
Class A Common  Stock and the Class B Common Stock.  The Class A stockholders   
have limited voting rights, which, in summary, entitle Class A stockholders to  
vote for (i) the election of 30% of the Registrant's board of directors; (ii)   
the ratification of the selection of the Registrant's independent certified     
accountants, certain interested party transactions and certain acquisitions     
involving the issuance of stock; and (iii) the reservation of stock for options 
to be granted to officers, directors and employees.                             

        Except as outlined above, and except as otherwise provided by the laws
of the State of New York, the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides
that:                                                                           

      ...the entire voting power shall be vested solely and exclusively in
   the holders of the shares of Class B Common Stock, the holders of
        Class B Common Stock to be entitled to 1 vote each for 1 share thereof
held upon all matters requiring a vote of stockholders of the 
       Corporation and the holders of the 5 1/2% Cumulative Prior Preference
      Stock or of the Class A Common Stock shall have no voting power, and
        shall not have the right to participate in any meeting of stockholders
or to have notice thereof.                                    

ITEM 2.   EXHIBITS.                                                             

   The securities being registered hereby are to be registered on an
exchange on which no other securities of the Registrant are registered.         
Therefore, all exhibits required by Instruction II
