{"value"=>"<p>This series is made up of files that contain items to, from, or concerning various individuals. Most people represented are staff members and others affiliated with The New York Times. Files typically consist of correspondence and memoranda that document personnel decisions, employee assessments, staff assignments, story development, and feedback from readers on certain stories or writers. Additional correspondence with staff members can be found in the News Department: Staff files in the Subjects series. Also present are files for people not affiliated with The Times, such as politicians and other public figures. These files feature either internal Times discussions about news coverage of these individuals, or those individual's communications with Frankel (incoming and outgoing copies of letters). Letters typically discuss The Times' reporting, setting up meetings and interviews with Times staff members, and requests for editorial endorsements.</p> <p>Of note are the files for Times Publisher Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, Sr., which span from the beginning of Frankel's time as Sunday editor until the end of his executive editorship. The files consist of directives from the publisher related to news coverage, staff and resource management, and long-term planning initiatives, as well as letters to and from Sulzberger with people outside of The Times on which Frankel was copied.</p> <p>Files are arranged alphabetically by name. The Miscellaneous Correspondence files are grouped alphabetically by last name and contain letters from many authors not represented elsewhere in the collection. Entries without box and folder numbers cross-reference related material in other files. These files do not necessarily collect every letter, memorandum, or document related to the individual; subject files should also be consulted.</p>"}
