99.1                Unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance
                    sheet as of June 30, 1994, and the unaudited pro forma
                    condensed consolidated statements of income for the year
                    ended December 31, 1993, and the six-month periods ended
                    June 30, 1994 and 1993.

On July 26, 1994, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of June 17,
1994 (the "Agreement"), The New York Times Company ("NYT") and two wholly-owned
subsidiaries (the "Seller") completed the sale (the "Sale") of its Women's
Magazines Division ("WMD") to Gruner + Jahr Printing and Publishing Co. (the
"Buyer").  As provided in the Agreement, the Sale's effective date for
financial reporting purposes was July 1, 1994.

          The aggregate consideration due to the Seller of $323,926,000
consists of (i) $10,000,000 paid upon execution of the Agreement on June 17,
1994, (the "Sale Deposit") and (ii) $313,926,000 paid upon completion of the
sale on July 26, 1994, ($27,500,000 of which was paid into escrow and is due to
the Seller December 26, 1994, subject to certain post-closing adjustments
described in Article 10 of the Agreement and $40,000,000 of which is allocated 
to a non-competition agreement (the "Non-Compete") pursuant to Section 3.1 of 
the Agreement).  On July 26, 1994, the Seller paid consideration of $48,926,000
to the Buyer to fulfill currently outstanding subscriptions for the Women's
Magazines, as provided in the Fulfillment Agreement, dated as of July 26, 1994.
NYT plans to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, including the
repayment of existing debt and the repurchase of NYT's Class A Common Stock.
The consideration was arrived at by arms-length bargaining between the Seller
and the Buyer.  As a result of this transaction NYT anticipates a gain in the
range of $.95 to $1.05 per share which will be recorded in the 1994 third
quarter.

          On October 1, 1993, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated
June 11, 1993 (as amended August 12, 1993), a wholly-owned subsidiary of NYT was
merged with Affiliated Publications, Inc. ("API"), the parent company of The
Boston Globe, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of NYT - (the "Merger").

          The following pro forma supplemental financial information (see pages
3-5) gives effect to the Sale and the Merger.  The pro forma condensed
consolidated balance sheet excludes the historical net assets of the WMD, giving
effect to the Sale as if it had occurred on June 30, 1994.  The pro forma
balance sheet gives effect to pro forma adjustments to reflect: $237,500,000
received in cash at the closing; accounts receivable of $27,500,000 representing
the portion of the Sale's proceeds held in escrow until December 26, 1994; a
decrease of $30,174,000 for the net assets subject to disposition in the Sale; a
$112,844,000 aggregate increase in accrued expenses consisting of $108,515,000
of income taxes currently payable, $(9,546,000) of current deferred income
taxes, $(10,000,000) representing the realization of income from the Sale
Deposit, $10,000,000 representing the current portion of unearned income
attributable to the Non-Compete, and $13,875,000 of other accrued expenses and
transaction costs; a decrease of $13,381,000 in deferred income taxes attributed
to the transaction, and an increase of $30,000,000 representing unearned income
in connection with the Non-Compete.

          The pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income for the year
ended December 31, 1993, and the six-month periods ended June 30, 1994 and 1993
exclude the historical results of operations of the WMD, giving effect to the
Sale as if it were consummated on January 1, 1993. These statements give effect
to pro forma adjustments to reflect:

          (a)       Non-Compete revenues of $10,000,000, $5,000,000 and
                    $5,000,000 respectively, for the year ended
                    December 31, 1993 and the six-month periods ended
                    June 30, 1994 and 1993 (the Non-Compete of $40,000,000
                    is amortized on a straight-line basis over four years);

          (b)       Reduced interest expense, net of interest income of
                    $6,280,000, $4,958,000 and $4,362,000 respectively for
                    the year ended December 31, 1993 and the six-month periods
                    ended June 30, 1994 and 1993 resulting from repayment of
                    certain of NYT's debt and investment of the remaining
                    proceeds in highly liquid debt instruments; and

          (c)       Income tax effects (calculated at the relevant statutory
                    rate in effect during the periods presented) of $7,200,000,
                    $4,362,000 and $3,308,000 respectively for the year ended
                    December 31, 1993 and the six-month periods ended
                    June 30, 1994 and 1993.

          The pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income for the year
ended December 31, 1993 and the six months ended June 30, 1993 also give effect
to the Merger as if it were consummated on that same date.  The estimated gain
on the Sale is not included in the pro forma condensed consolidated statements
of income.

          The pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations that might have occurred had
the Sale or the Merger actually taken place on January 1, 1993 or the actual
financial position that might have resulted had the Sale been consummated on
June 30, 1994, or of future results of operations or financial position of NYT.
