editThis bio is really lacking in detail. No mention is made of Mr. Ochs having been mayor of both Chattanooga and New York or his pioneering efforts to preserve Civil War battlefields. About 1/2 of this article is about who became publisher and editor in later years.
I removed an external link to a Flash game at new grounds (*http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view.php?id=148244 A Guy Named Ochs - Stephen Glass learns about the history of The New York Times and Adolph Ochs.) It didn't seem like it really had much to do with Adolph Ochs, and was a SPAM promo.
- He was mayor of neither Chattanooga nor New York. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CECE:830:69D0:51AC:91C1:2CA6 (talk) 02:49, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

...changes "German-Jewish" to "African-Jewish" and possibly other unverified edits. I'd rather not revert this (especially since there's a subsequent 'good' edit), as I can't prove all the changes, though it is an anonymous edit.

Chattanooga Times does not really equal Chattanooga Times Free Press
editI know it's nitpicking. Or is it? The Chattanooga Times was beaten in its own city by the Chattanooga News-Free Press. The Times stopped Sunday edition. Later, an Arkansas newspaper person bought the two papers and combined them into one, named the Times Free Press. But I think saying the Times is now the Times Free Press is not accurate. If anything, the News-Free Press is now the Times Free Press. However, the new paper retains the old Times motto: To Print the News Without Fear or Favor." The new paper also more resembles the Times than the News-Free Press. Just wanted to get that off my chest.BillVol (talk) 21:40, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
