IHT to have new name

Published June 14, 2003

PARIS, June 13: When last autumn, the New York Times decided to take over control of the International Herald Tribune, the 115-year-old Paris landmark which it had co-owned with The Washington Post, staffers of the publication feared the worst.

Now, it is said, the IHT will be printed in colour by year’s end, and the number of its pages doubled. Its name could be changed to better reflect the decision by NYT owner Adolf Ochs Sulzberger to exert direct control, probably to The New York Times International or The New York Times Europe, in dubious homage to The Wall Street Journal Europe, with which apparently the new look-IHT is to compete.
