Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr. (born September 22, 1951) is an American journalist. Sulzberger became the Publisher of The New York Times in 1992, and Chairman of the Board of The New York Times Company in 1997, succeeding his father, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger.

Sulzberger was born in Mount Kisco, New York, the son of Barbara Winslow (née Grant) and Arthur Ochs "Punch" Sulzberger Sr., the grandson of Arthur Hays Sulzberger, and the great-grandson Adolph Ochs.

Sulzberger's mother was of mostly English and Scottish origin and his father was of Jewish origin (both Ashkenazi and Sephardic). His parents divorced when he was 5 years old. Sulzberger was raised in his mother's Episcopalian faith; however, he no longer observes the religion.

In 1974, Sulzberger received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from Tufts University.

Sulzberger was a Reporter with the Raleigh Times in North Carolina from 1974 to 1976, and a London Correspondent for the Associated Press in the United Kingdom from 1976 to 1978.

Sulzberger joined The New York Times in 1978 as a Correspondent in the Washington, D.C., bureau. He moved to New York as a Metro Reporter in 1981, and was appointed Assistant Metro Editor later that year. Sulzberger is a 1985 graduate of the Harvard Business School's Program for Management Development.

From 1983 to 1987, Sulzberger worked in a variety of business departments, including production and corporate planning. In January 1987, Sulzberger was named Assistant Publisher. A year later, Sulzberger was named Deputy Publisher, overseeing the news and business departments. In these capacities, Sulzberger was involved in planning the Times's automated color printing and distribution facilities in Edison, New Jersey, and at College Point, Queens, New York, as well as the creation of the six-section color newspaper.
