Arthur "Pinch" Sulzberger:

Good morning. I am Arthur Sulzberger, Jr., Chairman of The New York Times Company. Welcome to our annual meeting and thank you for your interest in our Company…

<Much self-congratulatory back-patting snipped.>

As Bill Keller told our newsroom yesterday as our Pulitzers were awarded: Prizes don’t always say anything terribly important about the state of our business, but [t]his year’s Pulitzers do, and what they say is: the country has never needed us more than it does today.

Amen.

How’s that for chutzpah ?
