Adolph S. Ochs's departure from the sensationalism of yellow journalism of the 1890's was striking. Some of the stories featured in the exhibition range from the famous Titanic disaster to the paper's exclusive coverage of the atom bomb. The Library's exhibition program illustrates both the collecting strengths and the range of materials available for research and enjoyment at The New York Public Library. The New York Times Morgue 1896-1996 has been produced under the direction of David Cronin, Manager of Public Programs, and Dr. David Slocum, Research Consultant to the exhibition, and cultural critic at The New York Institute for the Humanities at New York University. The exhibition was organized in cooperation with Ms. Dryfoos, Mr. Gelb, and Linda Amster, who is in charge of The New York Times research and library staff.
Admission is free.
