{"value"=>"<p>This series is made up of alphabetical subject files that are organized (and titled) by topical keywords, geographic location, and Times departments, bureaus, newspaper sections, and columns. Files largely contain internal memoranda and reports concerning news coverage, production decisions, and operation of the various departments. These communications are mostly among the upper-management of The Times including publishers Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, Sr. and Jr., and Frankel's closest colleagues Arthur Gelb, Allan Siegal, John Lee, Mitchel Levitas, James Greenfield, Warren Hoge, and Joseph Lelyveld. Topics addressed include staff assignments, development of new columns and special features, department operations and assessments, editorial policies, redesigns, and space and page make-up issues. Also present are reports on budgets and revenue for specific sections; coverage on the operations of the News Department from the late 1980s and early 1990s is particularly strong.</p> <p>Of note are files documenting decisions for policies on smoking in the office, free-speech, and libel cases made against the paper, and changes in newsroom technology. During the final years of Frankel's editorship, The Times began to grapple with the growing popularity of the Internet. This collection contains memoranda and reports concerning coverage of the Internet, and surrounding how Times articles should appear on the web.</p> <p>Files are arranged alphabetically by file title. Entries without box and folder numbers cross-reference related material in other files.</p>"}
