Shareholders set to attack New York Times management

The Sulzberger family’s long-standing control of the New York Times Company is expected to come under attack on Tuesday from a group of frustrated shareholders at the media company’s annual meeting.

Hassan Elmasry, a portfolio manager at Morgan Stanley Investment Management, is pressing shareholders to withhold their votes for the company’s directors in protest at its dual-class share structure and the management of Arthur Sulzberger Jr, publisher of the Times and chairman of its parent company.
