S9E2: A.G. Sulzberger Is Tuning Out the Cheers and the Jeers

“Being a reporter is the most fun an adult is allowed to have at work,” says A.G. Sulzberger, the publisher and chairman of The New York Times. In a wide-ranging conversation with Amira Weeks, MBA ’26, on View From The Top: The Podcast, Sulzberger reflects on what it means to lead a 175-year-old media institution in a moment of intense political pressure and technological disruption. He explains why journalists must “tune out the cheers and the jeers” and why democracy and markets depend on “the accountability and transparency that the press provides.”This conversation was recorded on January 13, 2026.
